Yes......... for sure, but use a dolly that is very comparable with the shape, and try to lift the lows (if any ) next to any high by simply rolling the dolly away from the high spots, but if you feel that there is no major lows, then simply take the high down with the flipper without support and keep rubbing with the block, the blue color on the job will help you look and feel the over all shape

That is also very true BUT... sometime repairing an old piece full of unwanted holes ,oxidation, old repairs, welded cracks (especially if they where tig) etc...
then the panel needs some filler work etc.. that can take more time than making a new panel

Hi,
It make sense, will give it a try.

Thanks
