[QUOTE="Porkchop, post: 1378836, member: 22923"] [b]If that sounds over complicated.....[/b] Rooster's method is one of my favorites. It's quick & simple & quite ok. Each time this method is used on aluminum, the zone that's getting fixed gets harder. The 3rd or 4th time the cold/lever method is used, it's only a matter of time until things will start to fracture, so look out for it. 2 years ago my services were requested to help repair a then new Ferrari 360 gtb. The owner experienced a "cell phone incident" & a power pole jumped right out in front of the guy's new car. The body & chassis are all constructed of aluminum. The chassis is 3 large castings, the front (trunk, suspension, etc.), the middle(passenger/ crash capsule, doors, etc.), the rear,(engine housing, rear suspension, etc.) all tig welded together, very nicely. The crash damage was localized to the front right corner, luckily. It required 13 annealing procedures to get the front right side of the casting back into museum quality condition. Then we fitted the front & right new quarter panels,that by some miracle we managed to procure out of ferrari ( ferrari does not like to sell parts like that to any one but their dealers). When we were finished ya could not detect that a wreck ever happened, even by looking inside the wheel well, at the suspension or chassis. The moral of this story, HANG UP, PAY ATTENTION & DRIVE! $25,000 for the repair, on a car worth a quarter mill. :bang: :nener: :think: [/QUOTE]
