Car work

[johnridley]

Following the application of a hand winch (come along) and chains, and a bit of percussion and inertia applied by a combination of 2x4s and a sledgehammer, not to mention a bit of just literal punching of the metal to get some dents out, the hood on the Malibu is aligned as well as can be expected again. The rest of the parts should come in Monday or Tuesday and it'll be ready for K to drive back to school again after the holiday.

I'll replace the hood and the bumper cover when it gets warm again next year. I don't want to try to paint them in this weather, the paint won't go on very well in these temps. Until then the slightly wrinkly hood and torn up bumper cover will suffice.
