Re: [DML] DeLorean Hood Needed

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

I'd agree that it is possible to fix, even without seeing the damage.
You just need to find someone capable of doing such work. I thought my
door was impossible to fix-even DMCH told me they couldn't do it-but
you should see what it looks like now, doesn't even look as if there
was any dent-just a few scratches I still have to take care of. I
fixed this dent myself after numerous hours of work and lots of
motivation-see webpage http://damngoodsite.net/5003damage.html  at the
bottom. aside from the few fixable scratchs-looks like nothing
happened. I know the feeling-but don't be discouraged! -----Dani B.
