It's creasing taken way to farther. I have no idea how they are doing it either so I just stick to normal creasing. They get it done nice and clean looking.

I prefer to use my fists and whack the desired areas.

Combination of a jig, couple sledges, mini sledge, air hammer, chain come-along, and yelling. Some cars are easier than others for sure.

I to was wondering how they were making the quarters so close to the frame rails. My thought was to use a chain come along hooked to a welded in cage. Run the chain through some tubing that is parallel to the frame rails on both sides and tighten to a solid point behind the rear bumper. Beat and tighten till you get the squish you want. I think creasing the inner wheel well area so it folds in on itself would help alot.

I think creasing the inner wheel well area so it folds in on itself would help alot. depends on how much of it you want sucked into also. Plus different cars are easier than others when sucking them in because of the floor bracing and design. I had a 4-5 inch deep crease on this car just off of hammers but actually sucking them to the rails is a different process. People achieve it differently, but folding the wheel well does help, just can’t do too much depending on car or you’ll split seams. No one builds the exact same |

Usually I will drill a hole in each fender Parallel with the truck floor . Put a big ass washer on the out side of each fender , use a Eye bolt run it threw the fender with the plate on outside. Then take a Come along and hook it between the bolts . Start cranking it and let it do the work. Usually need a sledge to help the process.
