A Few Punches To The Nose -- January 25, 2007

We removed the headlight buckets, and the grille assemblies, so we had a straight shot at the back of the nose. Since the motor and doghouse are out, it gave us a clear shot at the numerous dents in the nose of poor poochie. The front end is the only bad panel on the whole vehicle. Using a combination of my size 13 foot and my dad's size 14 foot, we kicked out the majority of the dents, then using a couple of mallets and some wood blocks we managed to flatten out the nose of the van quite a bit. It may not be the straighest panel on the truck but its a fair share straighter. Since neither of us profess to be bodymen, we reassembled the light buckets and will leave any subsequent bodywork to paid professionals. Not a bad little nose-job for a couple of hacks like us.
