ranger cab damage options?
I have a 95 ranger splash extended cab and i was recently involved in an accident. The other driver came up the side of the driver's side bed and hit the bottom corner of the extended cab pretty bad.
The side of the bed is just a bolt on fiberglas part, so I'm just worried about the cab. I'm a novice when it comes to body work so I don't know what the options are... cut and paste that area? ...putty? ...cut the entire section from the cab?
Any suggestions are most helpful.

Patience Grasshopper!!! The Bodywork guru's aren't on here 24/7 so you need to give them a little time to respond.
If you were hit, wouldn't the other drivers insurance cover the cost of the damages. If so, you may want to try a bodyshop.

I'm not a body shop man, simply just trying to rework an old truck, but I think that if you could post a picture of the damage, several folks could give you some good advice on the best approach to correcting your problem.
