Words do not explain. Pictures do. Here is the pic.



So pretty soon it looks like I'm gonna be doing some work here. I'm thinkin this is my excuse to paint 'er a color that's... well... cool. Cause I'll be sanding that side (obviously) and at least 80% of the rest of it to fix other things. Sooo this'll be fun. Anyway, I'll probably be on here scouring for parts due to this. But but my parts search won't be limited to what you see.

ow. right there with ya man, that must get on your nerves every time you look at it. But hey it coulda been worse, imagine if they crunched in your wheel instead!

As for how to go about fixing things, you don't have cut and weld in a new panel. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not only is it labor intensive, but you also run the risk of having it rust. Not to mention welding itself distorts the metals a bit. So do the easiest thing and just tack on some prongs to pull that dent out.
