Took car cover off....

I was planning to clean up my Camaro this past Saturday and get it started.... So I take the car cover off and the first thing I see - 3 dents on the roof right above the driver's door..... aaaaaaahhhhggggg!!!!

I think something heavy like a tree branch or something hit the roof during a windstorm (no paint scratches though). So it looks like more for the bodyman to fix when it goes into the shop next year....

Oh yeah - it wouldn't start either (starter or battery to starter cable). At least the windows or hatch didn't leak over the winter.....

If they are not major dents, take them to a paintless dent removal company. Then you won't have any bondo on the roof.

I was thinking about the dent puller guy too - unfortunately I need to have the doors redone with bondo - they already have bondo on the body line. At least the paint is intact.
