Things You'll Need:
- Plunger
- Rubber mallet
- Hammer
- Screwdriver
-
Step 1
Research online the cost of a Marmon classic before you buy--the Internet will provide more information than any other source on where to find your dream car and how much it will cost. See the Guild Classic Cars website for information (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Decide which dents can be fixed with a suction cup kit. All others will require a hole to be drilled in the metal in order to pull the dent out.
-
Step 3
Use fill, sand and then paint the dent that has been pulled out in the metal body of the car.
-
Step 4
Learn the plunger method and use it when appropriate--it will save you hundreds of dollars in auto body repair bills.
-
Step 5
Select the plunger method for at-home repairs. Clean the bathroom plunger and pump it on the metal a few times to create a good suction then pull the plunger firmly from the dent.
-
Step 6
Decide if the mallet method will work better on the dent. Tap the metal from the inside; use a rubber mallet, as it will not cause more damage to the body.
-
Step 7
Try the handle of a screwdriver if the dent is very small. Tap the head of the screwdriver with a hammer.
-
Step 8
Determine if it is time to give up with the home repair; some dents need a professional body shop and all the tools they have available.
