Once all the insurance crap would've gone through, I was going to get $200 and a salvage title. So, I thought I would try to pull my dent our myself. I drilled a couple holes, hooked a chain to it and backed up over the chain conviently pull the wheel well back down. :-) I'm a genius. lol a couple tack welds. some hits with a hammer and some paint. lol

Great idea. Seemed to do a not bad job for such a simple solution.

Not pretty, but it looks better than it did.

Not bad. I'll have to try it. My buddy just had his rear wheel come off just like yours on his Exploder.
