Dented this truck not too long ago, while reversing out of a parking garage spot.

I'm aiming to un-dent those dents as best as I can but I've never done any work like that before. I'm looking for suggestions on what tools I should use to smooth out these dents.

I am aiming to use Bondo to fill-in the rest so I am not expecting these dents to come out perfect.

Thanks in advance,

As a production body guy honestly, I wouldnt even try to fix that fender as common as white rangers are. Even doing all the work yourself it will be more cost effective and leave you with a better end result to just replace the fender with another white one. As for the door its borderline really. Decent used sheetmetal is cheap.

 

agree with bigfoot. btw, you feel stupid about doing something like that....but I crunched my 67 mustang the same way a few years ago. I still curse myself. stupid stupid stupid. You are not alone!

 

I looked up how to replace the fender a while ago and I remember being overwhelmed with the technical details. Do you have any tips on removing the fender on this truck? It's a 2000 ...

For the door, would it be a bad idea to smooth out what I could with a hammer and use bondo for the rest? I'm planning on painting this baby rustoleum-style in the near future.

 

Replacing the fender is no huge undertaking, The front bumper and grill/headlamp support panel have to be removed, and then its just unbolt it and pull it off. You will find a lack of access to hammer that dent out in the door and getting body lines to look right using filler takes A LOT of practice. Also looking at that door, the front structure of it looks to be pulled out a little so even pounding the dent out you will be left with a poor door to fender fitment and possible issues with it hitting the fender when you open the door. Trust me these trucks are a breeze to work on a decent used door will put you miles ahead.
