Re: 1985 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 - $800 (Helena, WA)
love it. not sure how easy it is to access that area of the body but if it's not too hard to reach i would just tap the dents out with a hammer and wood block so it was merely dimpled and leave it at that. i did just that on the driver door of my current project car and it looks fine. the rest of the car looks nice.

Geez, that Helena thing is the bane of my postings! We came up with three different Helena's the last time a car came from there~

Apart from MT and WA, there is a Helena in AL, AR, MO, OK, and a ghost town in TX. Maybe more...
Tom M.
P.S. Interesting Wiki anecdote about the TX Helena:
The town was the birthplace of the so-called "Helena Duel", in which the left hands of two opponents are tied together with buckskin and each fighter is given a knife with a three-inch blade—too short to reach a vital organ or cause a single fatal stab. After the combatants are whirled around a few times, they slash away at each other until one bleeds to death from the accumulation of cuts and stabs. Crowds of spectators would view this gory, gruesome spectacle and even bet on the outcome.

Re: 1985 Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 - $800 (Helena, MT)
that's wild, tom. people are wack.
however, i thoroughly disagree with the idea of a 3" blade not being long enough to both reach vital organs or cause single fatal stab wounds. you could easily puncture a liver or spleen with 3" of blade and cause fatal internal bleeding, especially on a skinny guy. if you got lucky you might be able to stab between the left anterior ribs and catch the lower left portion of the heart. could also dig deep into an eye socket and pick at brain matter--not likely to be fatal but boy oh boy, that fella would be in a bad way if he survived.

You know, I wondered about that as well. My Anatomy classes were many years ago, but I know how long a 3" blade is.
The Wiki account mentions 3" blades, while another mentions Bowie knives (!!!).

HAW!
But - where is my ponytail?
The clothing reminds me of a '70s discothèque movie.
Or maybe that John Travolta Meets Kurt Russell bioflick.

David wins the 'name that tune' award, because it is indeed from Michael Jackson's video, "Beat It"~
