front fenders??
If my front fenders both have pretty big dents in them. Is there any way to get to the inside of the fender to pop them back out?

It depends how bad and where on the fender they are. I just did that to both fenders on the rig I bought. The DS had a couple of dents up high near the hood & just in front of the tire. The PS had damage at the back of the fender near the door from the door catching it when it opened.
I'm planning to re-paint so I took both fenders off & used a body hammer & dolly to straighten out the dents. It's about the only way to do it right unless you can get at the dent easily. There are tricks like heating the metal, then putting dry ice on it to pop the dent or suction cup type tools, but that only works on certain types of dents.
Good luck!
