Mickey: I had considered the same approach (although Matt found out I needed some suspension parts, too). Had asked the sandbox "How neat is neat?" to find out whether some steward would kick me off the grid with a non-color matched fender/door and a hammered-out quarter panel, and got mixed replies - apparently there have been such cases somewhere in the country.
However I suck at bodywork, and futile (and slightly inebriated) attempts of quarter panel hammering by myself, Dave and his friend were unfortunately videotaped and placed on youtube; a google search to investigate the origin of an oddly large number of viewers later revealed that the video titled "3 guys and a hammer" had been linked from a website that collects links to adult videos with same-gender interests.
If you have some rudimentary skills at shaping metal, the above pitfalls are probably not too much of a concern for you.

but it shouldn't interfere with your racing.
