I had that happen to an old beater of mine. I just grabbed a bed comfortor, and a few bricks and threw it on the chrysler as fast as I could. Had very minimal damage considering thier was golf ball sized hail coming down.

Layers of thick pool towels didn't save my car. Every panel was injured. The windows were saved though. I seriously had about 25 towels all the car. I should have just got on the hwy and out ran it with my LO3.
this was a while back, and now I refer to them as speed dents.

Ugh... I remember those pics. That was a sad day. Glad to hear the Exploder got messed up. Now she can buy an f-body.

Hey man how much did that run you??? The hood and the top are the only parts that got damaged and she really could get away with just fixing the hood since the top has a cargo rack on it so you dont really notice anything up there.

Go to a body shop, there is no way for me to tell you what can and can't be done, or how much.

Personally, my estimage was 650 for the hood, 500 for the roof, 100 for a fender.

I bought a new hood, and I'll have the room fixxed, along with some paint.

Ya that was quite the hail storm. Fortunately my Iroc-z was tucked safely in the garage. My 97 Jeep took some damage though
