Snap-on has prolly the only one I would use for that. I also use a few hammers before I break out the air hammer.

If you form and tighten up the metal you can make a car a bit stronger. Some cars it helps alot more than others but it makes a difference on every car. Also, Depending on the car and how its set up you can do just as much harm as good if you dont think about how you are building the car . Alot of people dont put thought into it and just go nuts creasing. Then they put too much stress on things ( usually the humps) and it goes south on them and they dont know why....... ALL CARS CANNOT HANDLE HEAVY CREASING..... AND SOME IN STOCK FORM SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY CREASING DONE BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES THEM PLOW FASTER ( 80s GMS )
Its not cut and dry like it looks. Different body and crease lines CAN EASILY make a difference on how a car bends. So think about how and where you want the car to bend and the details of gettin it to bend that way before you ever pick up the hammer.

Here is something you can do to that is easy, and gives you an example of what it does. Take an ordinary piece of paper, set it on your table, and push 2 opposite ends, pretty flimsy right? Now take the same piece of paper and put 2 "body" lines in it, 1 towards the top and one towards the bottom, again push on 2 opposite sides. Alot stronger right? This is just a very basic example of what it does, and it helps to kind of see it in front of you.

I've been wondering if you were to make a large crease on the inside of the trunk, do you guys think it would suck the sheet metal together when getting hit? In theory, it would suck the quarters together(down) the more it was hit...basically self wedging until the frame comes up. I've been playing with some thin gauge metal with good success but have nothing really to compare to car wise.
