Removing door sheet metal?

Jsmith7861 · 09-12-2014, 02:42 PM

Hey guys, some *** hat swung their door open and put a dent in the driver side door. Anyone got an idea of how to get to it? Is it in any shape or form a DIY to remove that panel? It's such a slight dent I can't even get a good pic of it.

Take it to a PDR place?

Fuckin hell you must be, lol. If you can't even see it I bet it will be $20-40.

If that's really too much, good luck

Lmao, that's better than what I expected, I expected around 100. I mean, you can see it, but it's so shallow of a dent you can't even get a good pic of it.

PDR prices have always been pretty fair unless you own a DeLorean, in which it's better to buy a fluxing flux capacitor go 88 down the freeway, and back in time to prevent your stupid former self from being your broker future self

I watched a DeLorean resto video once. There is this crazy polishing attachment needed to get the proper finish on the panels. I'm sure it comes at a price premium.

PDR can remove from the outside. Probably take 10 minutes.
