Sorry to hear that your car got hit, does your insurance cover that? I hope so and I hope you can get it fix.
I have seen a couple of cars that have been fixed and you could not see any marks.

I have dodged 2 bad hailstorms over the last 8 years that I have had my Z, including the one that hit us and then a few minutes later produced a tornado that hit downtown Ft Worth.
Luckily the VP of the company was there that night and let us pull our cars into the building because we got hit hard that night by hail.

Sorry to hear and see that, A good friend of mine that has a 71 mustang just got the same hand of cards, After $26,000 frame up resto...His Wife had him push the car down the street to a Friends house for storage while she conducted her garage sale. The storm brought near golf ball sized hail, it took more than 20 hits into the fresh black laquer. He pushed it because I`ve been changing out the c-4 for a late model t-5. His insurance will cover it when he can get it to a inspection center

Sorry to hear that man!


I can't really see any of the dents, but then again, maybe I'm not starring hard enough.
My Camaro has only seen one hail storm since I've had it.
I remember a couple of years ago I was on 290 NW Houston, and it started to rain, well these drops were making some rock like noises when they hit cars and the street.
I took the exit and headed for shelter at the nearest gas station with some good cover!! Everyone was trying to squeeze under there with me!!
