Can this be fixed?
![]() ![]() 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.

Re: Can this be fixed?
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.
