So I don't know if anybody here is from the Exeter, NH area or were passing through one day but we had a huge hail storm. I hate Hail. I just got my elco painted less than a year ago and now i have at least 81 awesome little dents from golf ball sized hail. I was just Curious if anyone else had any hail damage from the recent storms.

Never experienced it personally, but I think I'd cry.
Soooo sorry.
Hopefully the insurance company will cover it being repaired at a high quality repair shop. You DO have insurance, don't you? _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4

Here's somthing you can try, don't know if it will work for you but it won't hurt to try. Get a piece of dry ice ( be very careful with it as it will cause burns to your skin immediately if handled bare handed). Poor boiling water on one dent then immediately hold the dry ice on the dent for about 30 to 60 seconds. This will pull the dent alot of the time as long as there is no crease. I've done this myself a couple of times on a car I had in the past with decent results. Good luck! _________________ Mama Mayhem's Gallery
