    Ok guys i get rear ended a little while ago. I never got it fixed because i wasnt that concerned with the truck because it was giving me other troubles. Well now that i have them straightened out im trying to fix the body damage. Im getting another bumper and brackets from the junkyard but i need help fixing this. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to go about this or should i just take it to a body shop and let them deal with it?

    u can get a stud gun and pull it or u can get washers weld them to the dents and pull it like that. washers will cover more of the dent.

    If you are lacking in the professional tools dept.you can probably get in from behind for most of it.Use something blunt like a hammer handle,something with a little bit of a softer edge that isn't going to put any sharp lines or give you the chance to poke a hole.The hammer handle works good because the edges are rounder and if you use a wood one it'll kind of give a little.Just crawl under there get the handle on the dents and tap the end with another hammer.You'll still need a little filler work but most of the time you can get it close.

    i've actuallly fixed 4-5 FSC's that had similar dents in the same location. not a problem at all. stud gun and hummer them out. little glaze and its done. i think the last one i did took maybe an hour.
