Any ideas on how to get this out. Im thinking about of coarse going under the hood and hitting it out. I just wanted to get more suggestions

 

That is what i would suggest, just make sure to take your time, or it will look like crap

 

haha Definatly thanks tho

i will take that into more consideration

 

if u can get to the back side it will work great. Have a friend hold a dolly over it. So u don't hit it up to far. Don't want it to start tin canning. If u can not get behind it. U can use pull rods.kinda hard to see in the pic.Get the metal as stright as u can and than use a slim coat of filler

 

How important is the hood on this car? Based on the answers you are getting from people, I would say that it's not really very important. Do not get behind it and push it out yourself unless you understand the physics of metal movement. If you push in the wrong place, you can make the damage worse and cause the metal to stretch, causing the oil canning effect.

A paintless dent removal technician can remove this dent for you and you should not notice the dent was ever there. Dents don't just pop out. The fact that the impression stayed after the impact means that the metal has a slight stretch to it and the edges of the dent are holding it in.

People comment all the time how easy it looks to remove a dent perfectly by a PDR tech. That's because we know how to do it. If we didn't, it wouldn't look so easy. If the car is junk, feel free to "hit it out" as you stated. If you care about the metal and the finish, have it professionally fixed. PDR won't require any filler or paint.

If you want, I might be able to set you up with someone in your area that does excellent work.

 

^ that would be the best thing to do, or take this as a sign to upgrade to a new fiberglass hood

 

Wow thanks all of you...

ScottMoyer: Its not that important, just thought i could do it on my own. Now i understand and it would be great for you to set me up but maybe just telling me where would be fine.

I live in Acushnet Massacushetts.

 

I contacted the person I was referring to and gave him your email (the one in your profile). Hopefully it will all work out for you. I don't have any info for him other than his email address. Let me know if he doesn't contact you.
