ok the truck has been transported to my dad's! he's going to replace the front end (ball joint, pivot arms, etc etc.) and he's going to begin prepping the tahoe for its fresh skin!! I'll get the cowl hood & my rock stars on soon and let you guys check them out..stay tuned

after getting inside the hoe and cutting some insides out, we managed to beat out some..but we still had heavy creases. So we drilled and snatched some creases out:



after that, dad to it and began prepping:


we began with the top, which only had one crease abouve the body line:

Nice Work

did you weld up all those holes from the studgun?

you dont need to rip them out of the sheet metal, you can grind them down or use dikes(side cuts) and cut them off then grind them down..
FYI

atomic, IF its bondoed correctly, it wont matter. we pulled out and worked this dent so much so we wouldnt use to much mud..but if whoever's doing your body work, they can bondo it and you wont have to worry about the small holes showing..its the ones who use too much bondo that find themselves redoing the mud

depends on if your using the weld on pins or the puller that screws into the predrilled holes as well. (guess thats old school by todays standards)

looks good though! feels good to have no dent in the side doesn't it?!
