Dented fender question

The other day I got a small dent in my left front fender. I took it to a "Dentsmith" and they said as long as there isnt a metal inner fender it should be a quick fix. Does anyone know if there is a metal inner fender on the FOrds. I know there is the plastic inner fender liner there because I was able to unscrew it and pull it away a little bit. Just not sure about the inner metal fender thing though.

Yes there is a metal inner structure. Can you post a picture and I will tell you if it is in the area of the inner panel. Or just tell me where the dent is.

Sorry I dont have a picture but the dent is right along the fender lip about 30 degrees to the right of vertical if that helps give a reference.

The inner does not contact the outer anywhere along the wheel house flange.

Thanks for the feedback. Got the dent fixed today and cannot tell it even happened. Went to a local Dr Dent and they did it for 75 bucks. Money well spent.

I had a body guy tell me they were having trouble with Hail Damage on the trucks, were not able to pop it back out because of Metal Ford used on these.
