i got a dent right above where the blinker light connects to the drivers side front fender. i cant get the SOB out any Quick advice would be very nice.

thanks

sorry no pics camera borke

 

Buy an aftermarket fender for $20 or so.

 

It's a truck, who cares if it's got a dent lol nice funny avator btw!

 

leave it....dents are cool...

 

X2 + rattle can

 

lol now its a little bulged out i think i hit it too hard, ill probably just buy another one

 

pound it back in slightly and give it some bondo..

maybe cat hair fiberglass or something



i hate dents..

 

then my truck would make you cry

 

Yeah metals tends to stretch when you pound on it, lol

It thins out and expands a little, making it bulge out from the surrounding area...

You might be able to CAREFULLY and SLOWLY work it back down with a flat-faced body hammer or possibly a rubber mallet, taping around in working from the outside and making your way to the center of the dent. If you start off in the center, you'll probably just push it right back in the way it was before, lol.

Just remember, you're not trying to force the metal to do what you want it to do, you want to gradually coax it into the shape you want

 

ehhhh.. i wasnt completely serious..


dents are cool when you earn them..


but not if someone else thinks you need a dent...

 

yeah i dont mind if i dent my truck, but when people dent a hood by stomping on it it makes my blood boil.

 

wtf? why would someone stomp on your hood?


must have been quite a sight lol

 

i park my truck by the lake. leave it there for a few hours. go back to the truck round 1am and see like 10 massive dents in the hood. must be dumb drunk kids that were walking by and decided it would be fun to stomp a hood

 

yea now that would piss me off..

 

I bet mine wold make yours look show quality

 

maybeh jk

 

haha.. mines not much better than yours but i love it..

 

Or heat the surrounding metal up really hot and tap it in with a ball-peen hammer as it cools down... and I really mean "tap"- no smacks just light taps. Hard hits will stretch it, light taps might cause it to recoil into shape. Otherwise tapping on it with a dolly behind may work. Huh? You don't want to force it, just gradually coax it into shape? That line didn't work in the 80's when I was in high school and you expect it to work now?

 

lol, shutup abe, you know what I meant
