Put your lips on the exhaust pipe and blow really hard. Them dents should pop right out.

Guido, two good friends used and would use again Jim Blankenship Car Collision in Tulsa.

RM, were you in a seedy bar in Manila about 13 years ago?

Angie, there are a number of decent paintless repair places around town.  Look for a BBB accredited shop and you'll be fine.  Some have been known to come out to you.

Modified due to bad advice.

Thanks!

And BTW, Blankenship did a great job on my MINI.

Fortunately I've not needed body work done in many, many years, but Blankenship is who I used and I concur on the recommendations.

Angie, Terry McConnel (Wizard Art Workz, Daytonz) had a guy who used to work out of his shop who was amazing at hail damage repair.  918-234-2665. 2920 S. YALE AVE

Call and talk to April, she can probably steer you in the right direction as Terry is really fussy about the quality of work others do for them.

Is Terry the guy that did the serious pinstripe work aftermarket, and signed his name (Wizard) to his work?  If so that guy was talented.  And his pinstriping was old school, using a brush and paint.  No stickers.

Back on topic now.

That's the one, and still doing it, all by brush.  He's incredibly talented.

I need to get a photo of my cousins old 1984 Mustang SVO that he had.  It was striped by him, and I always marveled at the work.  I never had a nice enough car growing up through my twenties to warrant doing that kind of work, but I thought pretty seriously about having some dove grey striping done on the Avenger.

Some of the patterns he came up with were amazing.  I seem to remember him using his nom and a painted footprint as his sig.

He still does.

His ex-wife is also very talented.
