That sucks, but it appears the Benz faired well. How bad is the damage once the tree was removed?

Will bondo fix the tree?






Sorry crap joke - can you push the dents out from the other side?

that'll buff right out

There is a whopping 4 dents on the hood and that is all. With any luck I will get a new hood and fresh coat of paint.

yeah, it's been CRAZY windy here lately. more windstorms and tree damage in the southeast than I can remember in the last 30 years. at least it was pine, not poplar. I've got massive poplar trees dumping limbs on my SD's and TD's. arrrgh!
had a HUGE maple topple and split in half, got hung up in some vines, and so I moved the cars... went to lunch, and came back and the trees totally crushed where the cars were... LUCKY!!!
if my ribs were'nt smashed, I'd be up there on my truck cutting out the mess...
don't ask about the ribs...
