'74 Chevelle - quarter panel dent from racing
I've been racing my '74 Chevelle for 45 years now.
Over the last couple years I've noticed a "dent" appearing in the LH quarter panel. I can pop it back into position, making it virtually disappear (or greatly minimized) but it comes right back. Is there an adhesive patch, maybe with a structure backing, that I can put on the backside to help it out? Or could I make my own, maybe with structural adhesive and sheet metal? Would it eventually "read through", especially on a black car? I've added a full cage over the winter so I'm hoping that helps. I feel like if I could stuff a football or a soccer ball in there and have it stay that it would work. Thanks in advance - K

Body bushings?
Cage welded to the frame? You have to stiffen things up somehow... some guys add stiffening plates to the frame to manage the flex... The easy fix is to only run 13.0 and no faster  On a serious note that car looks like a hard launcher.
