    Need ideas on this dent


    The damage I got to fix any ideas would help out alot.

    I have a dent on my passenger side quarter buy my rear door. It seem like I can push it out from under the wheel well. I thought about getting that section cut off a cb with a perfect quarter and having it welded on to mine. Down side is I dont know how to weld lol. I was going to take it to a shop but they closed down

    Any DIY ideas would help me out alot

    Thanx

    Find a Paintless Dent Repair service (unless your quarter is severely rusted and should be replaced anyway). If you're anywhere near Dayton, OH call contact DentMagicOhio.com. I've had him here twice, he's removed all sorts of door dings, dents, creases, etc. from everything in my sig except Moby (the van) without having to do any paint work. I tried to remove some of the dents myself, but only made them worse. There is an art to it.

      You cannot access from the bottom of the fender. You need a long pry bar and go from the side of the trunk or side of the back seat. If you got those PDR stick you can use that too. Wont be perfect so you need to do bodywork on it.

        I always say...put your location in profile so other members can come to the rescue, but people don't. Get it done by body shop. Unless you are one hell of a one yourself, or know some friend who are, but then you wouldn't post this question. So give a place some bucks, and have it done and finished.

        Do you think I wanted to mess with this for weeks with a puller and bondo? Hell no! We removed it and had friend and then body shop put on a used one and fixed the bumper and hood.

          Yes... if you never done bodywork before, take it to a shop or local member who can help you out. If you dont know what you're doing you might cause more damage.

            Do you have anymore pics from different angles?
            Its going to be difficult for you to get out simply because it appears that it is dented up to the original door jam crease.

            Best best as said above is to take it to a shop.
            If you have a welder you could weld steel rods onto it and use a slide hammer to get most of it out.

              I live in Cali Ohio is very far lol

              I'll look into the PDR bar. the very bottom of the dent I can feel in the wheel well. On frined of mine said try the dry ice methof of drill 2 holes and pop the dent out slowly

              I would post my location, I do stay in Cali but thats as much as I'm going to give since its full of thieves.

              Anyways the shop I did want to take it did very very goof work and was only 3 blocks away from me and had quick turn around times so I'd have my car back within the same week and they quored me 400 fpr both quarters while others charged way more for the same job no paint.

              I dont mind doing any repairs myself so it'll bw a good learning experience.

                For areas that you cannot reach and you have no tool for... you can use a self taping screw.. screw to the center of the dented area and pull the dent out with a plier or slide hammer. Work slowly so you wont damage anything else.

                Try that before you drill... basically the same thing, you will end up with holes just like drilling but instead you screw the self taping in and the only way out is to screw it out the opposit direction. Once you secure the screw in pull the dent out to level out. Keep doing until all the dented area is nice and level. You can weld the hole shot and grind it down to level and then bondo work to cover it. Primer than paint and clear you're done.

                  ^ what he said What an odd angle or shadow, IDK the pic makes it hard to really see the severity of the damage, but if I'm looking at it right I think your going to need more than one hole for the slide hammer technique. Just pull the dent out as much as you can before using filler.

                  I may be looking at it wrong - have you removed the truck liner to see if you can reach it with your hand?
