you could bondo it like you would any other dents but idk if id trust that.. id be pretty pissed if i closed my hood and a bunch of little quarter sized bondo chips hit my feet.

i think i saw a video on youtube about fixing hood dents. just search for that on youtube maybe.

Black Diamond

Yeah i already thought that but bondo on a hood...i thought fiberglass but that would look like **** i think..i will check youtube...

any one else have any theories on fixing dents in hoods..

Thanks

if u use filler... just to let you know you're not supposed to fill a dent that is deeper then 3mm

Black Diamond

No i wasnt planning on useing fill just because its the hood and it always up and down..but the dents im trying to fix lookd like hale damage dents about the size of softballs...anyone else have anything..LMK

Thanks

it might be worth it for a new hood..

if these dents are as bad as they sound.

eg_wookie

softball sized hale, holy **** lol, i hope no people got caught out in that that would kill a bunch of senior citizens if it poped them in the head good....but yeah if its really bad get a new hood or either bang them out, other option if its really but is to cut and weld in a new piece, all in all probbly easier and cheaper to just buy a used hood in good condition

hahahahhahah

If its more than 1 small ding, i'd say just pickup a close to or mint hood to put on before paint. Alot better to have a hood with no repaired damage than repaired damage, IMO. You can find someone parting out a car and get a hood for like $50-$60

Black Diamond

Now that is some funny ****...No there are like 2 or three dents that are the size of softballs i was trying to compare them to something..they are in the center of the hood so i will try to pound them out if all else fails i will try to find a new hood for cheap..I have had a couple of guys on here that i was going to buy new hoods but shipping is a bitch...

Thanks alot guys
