I was working on the car and was going to remove the hood. Well it got away from me because of the heaviness and the leaning of it on the hinges and fell forward onto the ground. I should have asked my brother to come out there. Anyways, The only part that is messed up is the drivers side front edge where the hood pin will go. Can i have someone just bend it back out to the normal shape and then repaint it, or will i have to go the bondo route? Thanks.

Well dude, first thing, don't do the hood thing solo anymore. With that said, someone can probably fix the hood edge. The body filler will depend on the extent of the damage. Anything can be fixed. Sorry you busted the hood, but at least you didn't get hurt and hopefully you learned a good lesson http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif Good luck with your car !
