Hmmm. Depends where they are. When I was scouting the market for a D, I saw 
a few that were really nice, like new looking, except a few dings in the 
doors and hood. No problem, right? Well, it seems that some dings are 
easier than others. And hood dings can be impossible. Buy a new hood- that's 
the fix. Provided you want a flat hood, no flap or grooves. That's one 
reason I ended up with a car needing mechanical work, but having a perfect 
body. I didn't want to spend an amount equal to buying a new (small) car, 
only to be riding around in a dent bucket. And the panels, apart from the 
front left, seem to run (ballpark) $1,000. on average. Not to mention 
installation. So do your homework, and talk to someone who knows, like Rob 
Grady, if the dents bother you like they would bother me!
