I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't notice anything related strictly 
to age, but door dings etc certainly happen. OTOH, you may have spotted 
the remnants of previously repaired body damage.

In my experince, body work is a real art and takes real skill. The more subtle 
the problem, the more skill is required. If you just want a fender pulled back 
to within 1/2" of where it started I can get a hammer and a winch and fix it 
right up, but if you're talking about tiny deviations from perfection, you really 
want someone who has lots of experince doing this.
