A couple days ago a real pos cut me off causing me to hit him, any advice on getting this considerable dent out, the accident caused my fender to get pushed back a **** hair and now my door dosnt open
Some times it just better to source another Fender, clean it up and have it painted,
than spend the hours trying to untweak the stretched metal.
These fenders have the outer panel as well as the inner part that is welded together.
You will still have to paint the fender you have either way, it`s hard to find 30 yr old paint
that is faded to your shade of red.
I have several Fenders and Doors I dragged home from PNP w/o rust. 2 Doors I had
sand blasted.
If it is shoved into your Door, open the Hood and see what else is out of alignment.
Sometimes the damage isn`t just at the point of impact.
It sucks some idiot caused you the problem, I have had some close ones going through
Reno the past few days in the afternoons. It`s all about me type of driving. It isn`t the rush
hour, I call it the idiot hour.
My Dad told me when I got my Permit, "You have to drive for the other guy". Took me a long
while to fully grasp what he said. After while you anticipate what some guy is going to do.
I wish you the best in getting it lined up and painted.
If it were me, I'd take an angle grinder and cut some meat out of the fender at the door so I could open the door to pull the fender and I'd just replace it.
Like he said it's hell once the metal is stretched, and that's a hell of a dent with plenty of creases. I have a harbor freight stud welded and I doubt even with that you could do much with it.
Keeps your eyes open for a lower valence too if you hit up a junkyard for a fender, you may also need a hinge and spring if it tweaked that too.
Best of luck to you and sorry for the troubles, people sure can't drive these days..
LMC Fenders might be the Chicom stuff.
I bought some fenders stamped out in Taiwan about 20 years ago.
The edges are not finished off very well with sharp edges. If you
can find clean, rust free factory Fenders would be the best.
Going through the insurance, with as old of trucks we all own, you
could end up with a salvage title.
