Say it ain't so.

stuff happens. i have a few blemishes on the stang myself. depends how bad it is, but it's worth a shot at one of those paintless dent repairs.

yup, they can fix it. That happened to me the guy fixed it in like 11 minutes and charged me $80. I kinda was mad that he fixed it so quick for all that money, but i got over it.

Paintless Dent Repair


No lives lost, no love lost. Ride on.

PDR can fix just about any door ding and for not a lot of $$. Don't lose any sleep over it.

yup, it happens, but I think that is sort of the appeal of the mustang. It does not have to be perfect to still be a very cool car. It is a muscle car, and they get used. How many times have you seen an old blemished 65, and still thought, 'awesome car'. How many times have you seen an old 87 lambo and still thought 'awesome car'. You havent, because a lambo, or porshe, etc, have to be gleaming. (well, maybe not a porsh)

Anyhow, let me tell you my story. One week after I bought my GT, it was parked in my garage and the shelving system put up by the previous homeowner FELL OVER right on top of the stang. And it fell because there was some heavy stuff up top, the worst of which was probably two jack stands. They scraped up the car pretty bad in three of four areas. Luckily, the dealer had agreed to detail the car prior to the purchase (I bought it used). I had not yet taken it in for detailing, and when I did, they fixed all the scratches pretty well. There is still one dent that did not come out, but like I said, stuff happens. If you want your car to remain perfect, you have to keep it in a two car garage by itself, and never drive it.

It'll buff out and you'll soon forget all about it. Glad to hear you kept your cool.

I know how you feel, my car picked up a small ding right after I picked it up. It's barely noticable but I was so mad. I am going to look into having it pulled when I get back to the states but it's so small it's probably not worth it. Also glad to hear you didn't lose you cool, family is more important than a car, even your 'stang.

I must be obsessive compulsive but I haaaaaate dings, especially one right smack dab in the middle of a door panel. On my previous car, I had the PDR and the technician also smooth out some wavy parts of the door panel as well.

So back to the obsessive compulsive. When I see something like an old beat up 65, it really depends. If its a plain Jane, just enjoy it and beat it till it dies.

On the other hand, lets say its a HiPo GT with the pony interior, console, and a/c. I'll immediately think, wow - what a candidate for a restoration. At work, somebody has a '68 Olds 98 sedan, thin center pillar without those frames around the windows. Fully optioned. Dash a/c which was a big deal in the '60s. Original Gramma's couch upholstery (I had a terrible time spelling this word). However the body had some cancer going on in the rocker panels and the car was painted with primer. A co-worker and I thought the same thing. Unfortunately, a lot of folks don't know what they really have.

Anyway I think I'll :Zip2: because I might be getting :OT:

Not to be a debbie downer but if it is a "crease" they wont be able to get it out. Atleast that is what i have been told by paintless dent companies.
