you could pop that dent out with your hand if you take the door panel off.. it may not disappear completely, but it'll look a lot better in that spot

but on another note.. [SIZE="7"]HOLY $H!+ BATMAN!!!!!!!![/SIZE] i have NEVER seen an 87-88 bird look so  good!

Yeah, you get the dent fixed and maybe the gfx removed and that's a museum piece.

The problem with having it painted is then it's not original any more;)

I bet a paintless dent place could get that out. They have some wild tricks up their sleeves...
 
I remember you posting a picture or two in the past of it sitting in the garage upon request. Definitely good to see more! They say "ya gotta drive em" but if I had something that old or older with that low mileage I'd just run it every week and take it around the neighborhood once a month. Definitely worth keeping it that low.

I personally can not stand these vehicles with any sort of ground effects on them, but this one is so clean I can see past it.
