Dent removal-84 Z28
So I have a 84 Camaro Z28 HO. It has some rust and all, but some sanding could take care of that. But I have a small-medium size dent behind the drivers side door. I was wondering what would be the best way to take care of it? Any idea's?

Have any pics? "Small- medium" could mean very different things depending on the person.

we need pics, but if its more of a medium size Id use a stud welder and slide hammer to pop it out, or you could try to reach it with a hammer from the inside of the car.

Re: Dent removal-84 Z28
Thanks, I will try to get pics up in today. How much would any of you guess it would cost to get the dent pulled at an auto shop?

Re: Dent removal-84 Z28
ya man u are in the same boat i am. This is what happens when you try to move your vehicle the morning after new years, and dumbass is parked sideways beside you. the door will have to be replaced. for the body though, can u get a hammer in behind from inside the car?? also, if I buy a door with a dent protection strip down the middle, can it be removed easily??? I mean, is it fastened on or is it just put on with adhesive??

Re: Dent removal-84 Z28
the door ding strip is held on with adhesive, some fishing line or even string will take it off. as for that dent you'd be better off with a stud welder or even maybe a frame machine to pull it out.

Re: Dent removal-84 Z28
it depends if you could get it out with a stud welder or not, but Ill let someone with more expirence chime in because I have no clue how much it would cost.
Re: Dent removal-84 Z28
Based on what I can see, that dent is doable by PDR. I can't tell if the edge by the door jamb and the wheel well will come back perfectly or not since this is just a picture. It will need repainting so PDR will get it 90% or better and those edges might require a little bondo. A stud welder/puller will cause more body work than is necessary.
