Was in my first WRECK today.

tylork92 · 09-05-2010, 06:45 PM

Well was turning left off the road into the parking lot at my work. Had to stop to wait on a couple cars go by before i could turn and then i went to turn and a lady comin out of the parking lot, also turning left, never looked my way and ran right into me.

Of course it was her fault and the cops were called and all that jazz.

Got the lower corner of my cab as well as the fron part of the bed. Missed my rims tho. But it did jar my truck enough to break my amp. It now wont turn on. Where it got the cab is the worse. It creased the metal in the corner pretty bad. Dont kno what insurance will say as its a long weekend with Labor Day.

Heres a pic:

pull the interior panel of the cab and use a block and mallet to get the metal close to shape. on the bed, put some dawn on the edge of a plunger(low miles one works better), and pull the dent, then start bondo work. i never tried it before and i did it and it was pretty easy, just really time consuming. buy a body file, i didnt have one and it made it take way longer. heres pics

before any work

plunger love

In the middle of the bondo work

A little primer

And for the record, its perfectly smooth it looks like there are ridges but thats the primer still wet

Painted

Fix it yourself and keep the money lol, thats what i did, and like i said ive never done it before, just read the directions and take your time(bondo always sands off), try to get the metal back as close as u can to its original shape so u can use the bondo to "glaze" the highs and lows. btw a orbital or disk sander really helps
