Hood Damage

[OldSlowReliable]

Sorry to bug you guys again, but i have bad news...

 

My malibu (daily driver) was owned tonight...got out of jazz rehearsal and BAM giant scrape (down to metal) on my hood.

 

I think someone backed into me. Or went forward onto my hood, idk....

 

All i can find online is how to bump out big pushed in fenders and such, but my hood has two layers, so i can't get under it to knock it back out...

 

Ideas?

Yeah, i called the cops and everything, and they can't do jack cause insurance won't cover it, and whoever did it drove off... so its a no-win

big suction cups might help... like a winshield mount one.... the paintless dent guys do some pretty magic work for pretty cheap... but it looks like you need paint.. unless the scrape dosn't bother you... thats all I got....

Well, the issue is that whenever something gets scraped or bumped on my malibu, it rusts <_<

 

Small scrape form previous owner on rear Q panel....big rust patch opened up last week

 

Im looking at a replacement hood, because i can't suction it out, as its a 3 stage dent, One spot where it was pulled down with whatever hit me, the spot closer in that is a 2" depression from normal, but fairly thin, and then the epicenter where it is DEEP and down to the bare metal....

 

Off to the yard i go i guess

you could do a nice fiberglass over it then bondo then paint. just a sugestion

Well, im not too good with that kind of stuff, and technically its my ma's car, so she says if im going to do it, that she wants it done RIGHT, so that it can't be used against her if she sells it after i leave...

 

Well, ima go this weekend to get some quotes from local places, and try to see if the local yard has a hood

 

Who knows, this may be my chance to paint it BLACK

It's a fairly common car.

 

Check www.car-part.com and find yards with hood's insock, then try to find one the same factory color.

 

You might get lucky, and you'll just have to bolt it on.

Yeah, i sure hope so....

 

If not, ill probably just go buy a new hood, and have it repainted by a smaller place...

 

 

Thanks for your help guys
