so I did some shuffling of the project car and its too many engines over to just one side of the garage so the CR-V could get a spot inside

good luck TSX, left out in the environment (I was unable to move it outside the environment)

Oof. Sorry to hear it. We had our first hail losses this year and it hurt.  Emotionally and financially.

My STI got about 25-30 various sizes hail dents from a rare hailstorm about two weeks ago. I decided to spend roughly $300 in tools and delved into Paintless Dent repair.

Its a lot of work and very much an artform but I’m glad I decided to do it as it’s now a skill I’ll have for the rest of my life. I’m not great by any means, but I can pull and knockdown most round, hail dents to be hardly noticeable

That must be one hell of an insurance deductible to be pelted like that!

I assume he went liability only or something...

Get the TSX outside the environment? But it’s the CR-V that looks like the front fell off...

Sounds like a job for multiple Harbor Freight moving blankets.

I’ve been wanting to order some stuff to do that due to a deer that spent most of his life carefully becoming a large buck before deciding that he should run into the side of my  suburban. What equipment or kit did you go with?

Have you tried removing the environment from the outside?

I went with a puller from a company called Kecotabs. It was their robo mini-lifter.  I then bought their precision base so I could have more isolated pulls.  That together is like $200.  I then bought a variety sized round pack of their pulling tabs along with their tabweld glue.  I then bought a knockdown off amazon with various heads.  The system I got is generally for smaller stuff, but they also have various tools to help pull bigger, more complex dents too. www.kecotabs.com

some of them are made so the front doesn’t fall off at all
