When I was fixing the damage from when a ford truck rear ended me I had an
interesting anomaly.  On the left rear corner I did a fantastic job of
shaping it to a perfect match.  Then I realized it looked strange.  Then I
realized that slight other creases and bends around the area were making the
body work stand out.  I then took the sander and changed the contours a bit
to match the bends coming up to it.  It is bent and looks correct.
