Very good news about the dent.
 

I talked to a guy who runs a local custom shop, he is friends with my store manger and comes in O'Reillys a lot. He came by today and I asked him if he would not mind looking at my car so I could get an estimate on how mucch it would cost to repair my car. We went outside and looked at my car and I asked him how much to repaint the car, pull the dent and do some odds and ends around the car. He told me 1200+ and that was it. :eek: I'm so happy cause 1200 really isn't that bad of a price at all, time to get off my butt and buy some rims and a new hood. :D

hmm i found a guy through blade that would do a majority of my body work for about 1000 dollars.

but my car is from the stoneage too.

Metal is metal. :confused:

i guess. i was also thinking i don't even have real paint. but panels and hoods and such would be diffrent for diffrent years. 1200 ain't bad how big of a dent is it?

that's not bad for the new metal, the older cars could be metal finished to a point where filler was almost not needed new ones are so thin it won't happen

What do you mean by "new metal"?

new cars (starting mid 80's or so) were made thinner to meet fuel economy requirements (pull a panel off your car and off Mikes car and yours will be half as thick) plus they did some changing of the concoction adding different amounts of different metals to make a stronger lighter steel, teh problem is it doesn't go bake into shape as well

Oh so by new metal you mean bondo. :lolsign:

no just thin (you also can't lead the new cars)

That price aint bad, congrats on gettin it fixed

good deal, not bad of a price at all.

new metal.lol. our cars have like metal hoods and 1/4 panels. thats it.lol

not too bad. Sounds like a plan!

not mine :nana:
