40 oz ball peen??? Wow. I used a 14 oz stiletto titanium hammer. Each rear quarter took maybe an hour. imageshack.us/a/img811/1962/u1vg.jpgDunno why anyone would want to use such a heavy bastArd unless they're trying to collapse stuff.

My wife asked me if she could try doing my body creasing on one of my cars so I let her and she does it better than me and she likes doing it, so my wife has done it ever since she uses a ball peen hammer.

For what seems to be of limited benefit, I would tell people, rather than spend 8-14 hrs doing this to your car, spend the little extra time tuning, checking fitting and bolts for tightness and making sure your car is mechanically sound. As you're sitting in the arena and your car died because it wasn't tuned to run when it's hot, I doubt I'd be sayin, "man I wish I would have spent just a little more time on creasing my quarter panels." Maybe this is for the more experienced builder or someone with an azz load o spare time.

I have a 73 impala for stock derby. Bolt chain wire class. Trunk is tucked and dimpled no weld or hump plates. Would creasing help the car? Or would it ruin the car?

I went up against a 73 impala that had some creasing nothing too crazy in stock class. He did pretty well ran right through my freebie/swiss cheese resembling 86 lincoln. I'm gonna try creasing this next year. Demolition missions has a video on youtube after its done he hits it with his fist and you can see/hear the difference... I don't think ot will ruin the car

keep in mind that creasing does make the body harder, and can make the car bend differently. check out the 71-73/74-76 sedan pic threads to try to find some examples of them creased. i would crease mid-panel closer to the humps to the rear door gap. then lightly beat the rear quarters in(not over) where your tuck has empty trunk...if you understand what i'm saying.
I'll try to find an example...
