When i bought my Supra about 8 months ago it had some body damage on the drivers side rear quarter panel, a pretty huge dent/smash in. I can take off the plastic pieces inside the trunk and get behind the dent fairly easy, my question is what type of hammer do i use, rubber, metal, ball peen, do i hammer at the center of the dent or around the edges, do i need to use a dolly, i work at an auto parts store and have access to all these tools for cheap so that is not a problem, here is a picture i have of the damage.

you mightbe able to popout the bigger one by the tip of the wing,and use a puller to get the one at the rear out. it will take some effort and time,but you can getit to look smooth again.

Yeah, That is a big dent with creases. Most body guys I know would do the above mentioned and then get a pin spotter (pin spot welder) to weld "pins" onto the lowest points..Then use a slide hammer to pull the pins to where the metal needs to be to get it down to a minimal bondo thickness level...
