Dent Removal HELP!!!

[OklaHemi]

While the truck is on stands, a bucket list has be created to get it back into shape. Getting a few dings removed is one of the task on the list. There are at least six that need to be addressed: One on each door and two on the tailgate. They are all quarter size or smaller. Some are not reachable due to door frames and other obstacles. I have no dent removing experience but have read all the gimmicky stuff, what really works? Or should I save my time and take a trip to the auto-surgeon?

Take it to a shop.......

[OklaHemi]

Well I cant right now, I have no wheels.

That is what i figured, I have been avoiding this for a while but the Z rekindled my love affair with my Ram. I have to make it look better than that Nissan. Then I have to make the Tahoe out shine the Ram, then the Z will need a makeover but the Ram cant fall behind and would need some updates, after that... Shit I've gone cross-eyed.

something you can do w/ the dry ice trick?

When you have the time, take it to a shop... no need in making it worse.. I have tried all kinds of dent removal and ended up making it worse than it was..

[DoubleTakeDodge]

^^that is true.. you run a high risk of making matters worse and more expensive to repair later

Well I swore when driving my truck became an option rather than a necessity I would fix it, the time has come. I really want to find someone with a bed in similar condition to mine so we can swap out beds and they can have the LineX so I can put a tonneau on the back. But I keep the roll pan and my tails....

What's the ETA on the wheels??

[OklaHemi]

Hopefully not too soon, I got a little ambitious and have a lot to finish before they are ready.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

haha what all's on your list??

[OklaHemi]

To Do List or Already Removed And Have To Be Finished Before I Can Drive The Truck List:troll3:

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Ah! I see what you did there ;)

[OklaHemi]

What I have taken off of my truck today:

Wheels
Door panels
Mirrors
Handles
Wiper cowl
Vararam
Battery
FoxBox
Door speakers

[OklaHemi]

Tomorrow, if i have time, I'm going to get the gauge cluster out

[DoubleTakeDodge]

New door speakers? Painted handles and mirrors and wiper cowl?

[OklaHemi]

You got 3 out of 4. I'm not changing the speakers again, only painting the surrounds i made.

If I can get the bed situation sorted I would have my roll pan molded and tailgate handle shaved. That Line X is the one thing on my truck I dont like.

I am also detailing the engine bay and plotting something for the vararam

[DoubleTakeDodge]

NICE!! You're truck is already so good lookin. Can't wait to see it at kicker!

[OklaHemi]

I pray I can have it in tip top for kicker. I need a sponsor dammit or a wife that doesn't like to remodel the whole house every spring.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Hahaha there is a website called sponsermycar.com or something like that. But their requirements are pretty crazy, or were when I looked into it

[OklaHemi]

Nope, I cant do that. There is only one option left, I have to start racing in an unground circuit for extra scratch

idk how people go about getting sponsors other than a site called andysautosport.com they offer club sponsors also and its easy to get them to sponsor your club all you have to do is post a link to there site on the club site, send them an email saying to put a link to them on your site tell them the site name they will go to your site, check to make sure there is a link, they send you an email of a code and its automatic 10% off whatever you want from them the more that the club uses them the more of a discount you will get

PDR, call a good body shop you may know, see if the PDR guy can come to you...some do

[ramthis9501]

Damn Mike your really getting after it! Cant wait to see it done

[Okiespaniels]

I'd take it to a dent repair place and lat them work thier majic. Black can be a pain to match and dent guys can get it out without much hassle in many cases.

I'd wait until you get the interior done just in case you add to the "collection"

[OklaHemi]

I only caused one, i left a ratchet on my rear bumper and dropped the tailgate:Nonono:. All of the other are compliment of the fine customers of Walmart and/ or Reasors. Although the one centered on my tailgate looks like some punk ass shot it with a BB gun
