Ooo...ooh.I got an idea! Lets combine all our ideas...glue some shark teeth on the crinkled metal and make up a story about pirates and sharks....kinda like shark'nado meets somolian drug lords...chicks dig scars

Ya know it would be cool to have the teeth hang down vs a sticker that is flat.........it would look like a sharks mouth coming straight at ya........hmmmmmm. Maybe I can find some rubber shark heads and just stick em on there........hmmmmmm the options are endless

If you were to gather some cement blocks for instance and built up a table of sorts from the driveway up to the damage on the toons and use it as a dolly as you drive the aluminum against it to straighten it. This would allow each blow to be far more efficient because of a lot less loss to inefficiency. With the trailer jack being right there to help in elevation adjustments keeping everything snug so each blow is as efficient as could be a person could likely make pretty short work of it.

Winner!!!!!!! good suggestion...........I need to use the ground as my friend and build up to it.....then I can hammer away.......thanks

[bansil]

Today I used a 3lb sledge hammer as my dolly and a regular hammer as a regular hammer I had no idea what I was doing but actually was able to make a curved shape. Now the only thing left is the jagged edge which a soft piece of aluminum could be shaped just over the lip and through bolted.....still working it out.....

Split a pc of black rubber gas line and slip it over?

[JV74]

I will take a better pic of it today,,,,the damage is about 2" deep.......so whatever is used to cover needs to have some depth
