I worked on the large fender dent first which took several glue pulls with the bridge puller and the slide hammer with a large glue tab to pull the deep dent outward. I used the pop dent puller with smaller tabs to pull smaller targeted areas.

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

I managed to pull a lot of it out. It has ripples now I will try to tap out when my line board reflecting device comes in. It helps show you where the highs and lows are.

On to the long crease across the front for now. I self inflicted this one awhile back when I thought I had the truck in neutral and bumped the starter through the window and it started and proceeded to run into my work bench.  :-\

The kit comes with several different shaped glue tabs to best match your dent. I used narrow ones placed along the crease to pull out a little at a time. I guess I made maybe 20 different pulls down through it and I may need some more after I can view the dent better with a line board. This is all new to me but I have watched numerous YouTube videos and I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Well I had a few days off this week so I bought a couple parts for the mini. A gas cap and a tailpipe doesn’t have much in common but they only cost $10 bucks total.

So I thought I would paint the pipe and bolt it to the mini in an easy to get to place.
