    Gap between hood and quarter panel

    Car slipped off the jack before I could get the jack under the rail(my over excited dog jumped on me and I bumped into the jack). The jack dented the underbody between the subframe and outer edge. Could this have caused the gap(~1/4 inch) between the hood and quarter panel. The door gap is also off about the same near the top of the door. I'll get some pics up later today of the gaps.

    That's what I was afraid of. Wondering if it's even worth getting fixed or just starting with a new car.

    I could but would banging out the dent cause everything to go back into alignment? I guess technically it should.

    Precision hammering has solved issues like this on previous vehicles for me. "massage" the bracket mounting points back to where they should be.

    I should have no problem doing that. By no means do I need or want a show car, just something to enjoy on the weekends. Was really just concerned about structural damage before I started putting money back into the car.

    Driver side gap


    Passenger side gap


    Drivers door


    Dent is basically inline with the jack


    The dent. It appears to be on the underside of the rocker. Not sure if this would cause my problems.
