I am fixing/painting my 73 duster. Whoever tried to repair and paint the car was a complete idiot, doing a cruddy job with overloads of bondo. And even the paint was put on wrong, it had dust on the topcoat and would flake off in places.
So, I have now stripped the car to bare metal and coated it in epoxy for protection. There are a few major spots i am trying to fix on the metal. The easy part for me is straightening the body. But it seems the hard part is making the body lines again. I have not found any tutorials on how to remake the lines on a car. Here are a few examples.

Here is one part, and the holes were not me. That was from the previous repair. It's sad because they weren't even necessary

And how do I make this line straight and sharp again?

Another part I need to remake the line.
I started to hit the inside of the metal with the edge of a hammer the try and sharpen it up, but i thought i should get advice before trying anything on my own. I'm just hoping there is an easy to do it without alot of bondo.
Thanks for any help, I'll try to keep updated as I move along.
