Midwest Hail Damage... Pic heavy! 6-3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Forcer · 06-04-2014, 09:10 AM

Well working at a body shop in nebraska can have its perks on days like today... Last night hit us hard in some surrounding area's. Blair nebraska got hit with baseball - grapefruit sized hail yesterday and the cars are starting to get towed in.

I'll keep adding more pictures and highlight the "Sport & muscle cars" that come in. Feel sorry for the dealerships that got hit.

I just sold my house and moved away from Omaha in March.. Thankfully my ZL1 wasn't in this mess. Good luck!

That sucks! Are those repairable? Totaled?

ClawSS · 06-04-2014, 09:14 AM

Obviously depends on the value of the car. That black truck is very iffy, its an expensive truck, but only because its newer that it has a chance at getting repaired.. We will have more totals than repairs but still good for buisness.

ClawSS · 06-04-2014, 09:22 AM

sad, but...total the car even tho the concept is plausible for better fuel mileage.

Thats nothing, I just got my 2014 camaro back from the hail storm that hit Texas two months ago. Hail was the size of my palm

Is there any noticable damage left? I've always been curious how that is remotely repairable without completely replacing body panels, assuming that's what is done. Or *gasp* bondo??

I'll post before during and after. It's pretty good. My only complaint is they let an amature buff it when it was done so the swirls were terrible.

The damage was pretty extensive, the pictures dont do it much justice because my red is pretty reflective, but it was almost as bad as that RAM in the first picture.

RedRaider2014 · 06-04-2014, 09:42 AM

The Front and Rear Glass was replaced, along with the hood, roof , and trunk lid. Whatever was able to be handled by PDR was and what wasn't was filled. The whole car had to basically be repainted

RedRaider2014 · 06-04-2014, 09:45 AM

But after 6 weeks and three days my eyes and lead foot missed it something fierce. It came out great and I will never take my baby for granted again...

zim2323 · 06-04-2014, 09:48 AM

Very interesting! Thanks for the pics!
