That's a strange looking kind of metal.

You know we're going to need a MS Paint diagram, right?

Damn, that does suck. Can damage like that be repaired, or will you have to replace the entire fender?

Whats so embarrassing, is its 100% totally my fault...I completely f8cked up.

I had my 16 foot trailer parked next to the shop because I mowed yesterday and it was not where I always keep it. I cranked the dually up this morning and the battery seemed a little weak, so I pulled it around to the shop to put it on charge for a hour or so...

Customer drops by, so I say hey...let me back this truck out of the way....I drop it into reverse, I see the trailer and i think im clear..I roll back...I feel a light thump...i pull forward, and when I do, the trailer dropped off the wood block the tongue jack was on...and it came up in the back, ripped the fender off, and I actually dragged the 16 foot trailer sideways about 2 feet before I felt it....haha

Oh well, win some and lose some....ill be more careful next time, this is going to hurt.

It's just Fiberglas dog. You can patch that back together and then sand it down.

One of the shitty things about older vehicles is when u have to get body work done.

Sucks trying to get it to match up.

My first car had different wheels on the passenger side. My dad pointed out that you can't see both sides at the same time.
