You did well with the plunger (as I call them). The dent at the wheel well is pretty tight and I doubt that any suction cup would pull that. The tighter sheet metal gets bent the harder it is to pull back into position. You could go back to HF and buy one of their stud guns (my next purchase) and weld a few studs on there and use your slide hammer to pull it back, followed by some refinishing. But really, it look pretty good now.

Yeah, it's worlds better. Thanks for the atta-boys on it. The wheel well dent I will use an actual slide hammer with hook attachment to pull that back out. I wont be able to do anything with the dimple that remains with filler and re-coating, but it will be way better than it was.
Thanks again
