RE: [DML] Re: DeLorean Dents

["Matt CARPENTER" <mattdcarpenter@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,

I met with Ken Vance yesterday - he didn't feel comfortable in doing the 
repair - too big of a job.

I'd be curious if others on the DML have had this type of work done and 
which shop or technique was used to remove dents in the hood.   The repiar 
involves two nickel size dents near the center of the hood.

I'll check on the price of a hood from DMCH.  I'm guessing it will be much 
more expensive.

Thanks,
