You are definitly going to have to go with the body shop route. There is no way that paintless stuff will work on stuff that big

I don't know if its an illusion but that one ding looks more like a crater. For less severe dings you could try the heat gun and freeze spray trick. Heat it up then spray it with air in a can or something that comes out cold. Some dings pop right back.

Look it up on You Tube.

About a year ago I had hail damage to every body panel except passenger door and left front fender on my GT. Insurance took care of the $1800 for repair, minus deductable. They were able to use PDR on everything. Had a couple good sized dents on the hood, but not quite as big as yours from what I see in the pics. I tried to run out and cover the car with some thick blankets but had to retreat back inside after taking a couple of shots in the head. NWS reported 1-1/2" dia. hail in my neighborhood.

The Mach is actually in the garage... We've got 5 people living in a 1200 ft2 house with no basement... so there's no way to get another car in the garage other than the Mach...

Good luck

I have a glass roof and although I've never seen hail like that here in Denver, it has apparently happened before i moved here....at least I know now that the glass roof can't take a severe beating. I do keep mine garaged but usually weather like that, you dont get a lot of notice that its coming to begin with.

Got a check for 2 large for fixing up the dings... they think all of it will be handled by PDR..

Got 500 for the hood alone.. was thinking about the AM 71-73 style Mach 1 hood. Anyone done one of these? Fit / Finish ok?
