Body works isn't that tough...bang it out as close and you can get it with dolly's then bondo it once or twice ....prime and paint. Takes just a few hours but, the results save you mega bucks.

Worth doing a few times to get right... imo .... then you save $'s

Good luck... Mike is better than I am with this sort of thing I think.

Hey Dale,

That's a pretty easy dent to fix, let me know if you want to swap hoods and I'll get it ready for you.

Once every few months Frank, in fact if Santa is good this year, I'll be heading over in January to get 4 or 5 hoses made up....I'll give you notice to see if you'll be close by.

I'd say in early Jan when I'm scheduled to come over. I think the white hood would look nicer anyway.
