I have a 56 chevy.It had lots of coats of paint and filler.The paint was coming off in big chunks.I started sanding and stripping. Was taking to long so I had the dumb idea of using a propane torch.It worked well but now I have a bunch of warped panels.What filler can I use to smooth it out.I was watching overhaulin and it looked like the yellow filler worked well.What kind of filler it that anybody got any ideas for a dummy. Cant afford to take it to a body shop thanks proge :knockout:

Filler is not the answer to your problems. Read this sticky post and pay close attention to the metal shrinking section.
