I'll see what I can do for pics as well. I couldn't seem to get it to show up in any of the pics I took. I have a couple close up ones I think that show the wheel well trim with quarter+ sized dents. I'll upload them asap

It's hard to see it cause my camera isn't great but I added the house to give a better idea of the overall amount of damage In the second pic if you look at the fender close you can see some of the dents and the top of the fender is wrinkled entirely the whole truck looks like that but for some reason the dents just don't show up in any other pics.

It's slated to take about 23 days according to the original estimate .

I am on my way back from Colorado for vcation and I am using my Blackberry so could not see pics... But I had hail damage to my rental car this week and my uncle, the bodyshop guru, laughed at me when I bought dryice.... Ten minutes on the spots and the dings were gone... Just one of the many stupid tricks I learned while selling cars.

No luckily everyone is safe. It happened at about two in the morning and I woulda swore there was a train running through the yard with the wind and hail mix. That dry ice is a great idea I'll have to try that on the other truck. It's got a couple hail dents from way back.

I think I'm blind...I see it on the fender flare but is it also dented above the hemi emblem or is that the reflection of the side mirror?

Thats a real bummer for sure. I agree with the others in that seems like alot of money for boby work and paint. wow.

Does the truck fit in the garage? I know mine doesn't and it pisses me off to have a 2 1/2 car garage and the tuck doesn't fit in, its too long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look at the reflection of the mirror in the fender you can see how its wavey. The whole drivers side is like that but you have to see it on the right angle. It's not an exageration when I saw the truck looked like a big blue golf ball
