[383Chevy]

This pisses me off this is the only bad part on my truck and it looks like hell any suggestions before i end up getting a whole new door and fender

[kris's66lwb]

get a hammer and a dolly and bang it out might lose some paint but it wont be dented

[Goldfinger]

self tapping screws in the middle of the crease and use a slide hammer to pull it out then a small tack weld and a tap with the grinder and it will be smooth.

Unless you have the correct tools I would see a good collision shop in your area and have it fixed the right way. Using a stud gun and slide hammer to pull the dents to the surface and fill them and work your body filler is better than a hammer and dolly because there is no access to the back side. A body man who works out of his house should cut you a deal for cash 300-400 cash. Good luck. Those parts appear to be rust free so dont replace them fix them.

I plan on using our resident "Paintless Dent Removal" guy at work. He is a master of the art and can do a lot with out drilling holes, painting or doing considerable damage to make it look good. They used to be hard to find but now are in just about every city. Before you go anywhere else try to find some of these guys and get some estimates. Oh yeah they are about half to a third of what any other style repair would cost.

I dont think Dr. Door ding is gonna fix that

whoever did that knew they hit your truck, that sucks I would be pissed....sorry to see this

You'd be suprised what the right guy can fix. I'm not sayin it because I think it, I'm saying it because its been proven to me. The guys that sub out at our shop have fixed some incredible stuff. I'm just sayin'...check 'em out, see if they can save you some money. Even if some paint did pop he'd still have to get it painted because paint already popped. He'd say money on prep and no filler!!

I agree Paintless is the way to go but I dont care how good they are they will not touch that damage. The metal is stretched and minimal access behind the panels. Not to add the metal you are dealing with is twice as thick. I manage a Collision center in Central Mo. we have repaired over 300 cars Pdr in the last 4 months Ive seen what can be fixed. Dont waste your money. This is a good o'l case of conventional body repair. Save your money find a shop or guy you trust or try it yourself you have good parts to work with. youtube can teach you anything.
