Argh, hit and run on my quarter..!!

Someone smacked my car on Friday in my work's parking lot and left :mad: Now yeah, the car isn't in showroom condition and yeah it has some scratches and dings on that side already from who knows what the previous owner did, but I really didn't need a long crease and gouge in the car! Seriously, it just doesn't match the rest of the scratches :rolleyes:

Going to find out tomorrow if the security camera on the side of the building can see where my car was parked and if so, I intend to find out who hit the car. That person owes me a repaired quarter panel :upset:

Probably an Intel-fanboy :rofl::ROTF:

But seriously, it sucks to find your car smashed-up like this :(

At least it's a fairly easy repair. When you find out who did it, your car wont be in the shop for long.

Yeah they should be able to repair those dents fairly easy.
But not sure of the cost as they would have to blend the passenger door
along with the roof.
I work at a collision repair facility.

Hey im no expert.
I have worked on everything BUT paint and body for the last 20 years.
I only started at a collision place a year ago.

I see the guys using their little hammer and dolly lightly beating on
metal and say "Let me get my BFH and fix it in just one hit"

They usually cuss at me.

If I do find out who hit my car tomorrow, part of me isn't looking forward to finding out. I hate confrontations :(

Be cool and do it right.
If you can get video then use that.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Of course we dont want to see you on the 6 O,clock news
giving someone a beatdown.

But that would be kinda cool:D

I learned the hard way that you need to use light taps. One of our practical assignments was raising a flat piece of sheet metal into a dome with a center height of 3/4", then shrinking it down to 3/8". LOTS of hammer and dollying.

Yep. Heat up the metal without any room to expand, then shock cool it to contract it. Anyway, back on topic. Yeah, it does look like a camaro.

I think you should be able to pull the dents out.
But the paint damage will still be there, and there will be hints of the dents.

Hmmm. Don't think you could hammer it out from the other side?

That's damned shame Sparky. You have (or had) a good looking car. I hope that you can find out who did it so that you aren't out any money on the repair.

Could be hammer and dollied out, but it would still need some body filler, possibly some shrinks, and definitely paint.

Yeah.
Some dents you can hammer out softly, but that dent is by far out of range of softly :down:

Did a quick review of the security camera footage yesterday after work. The camera pans back and forth and from a quick scan I couldn't see anything happen :( I'm going to try and check the other camera. Maybe it didn't happen at work but I'm not sure where else it may have happened :shrug:

Yes... definitely some doings of a Intel guy... or from AMD-fanboy who knows that you jumped to the Intel-party too :D

Anyways... that is a bad dent. Sucks and stockings... I'll say :(
