Hey,
I was wondering what is the best way to fix this crimpled metal under my car. It is the "lip" were shops jack the car up sometimes. Thanks for any advice:

Same thing happened to mine, I clamped a pair of vise grips on there and bent it back real slow and easy, be careful if there is any rust that you don't break it off.

Thanks, ever think of using a dead blow hammer, rubber hammer, etc? Thanks for your help

That's what I did....vice grips and a 'Special Ford Tool' (ball peen hammer). After I fixed it as best I could, masked it off and sprayed it flat black. I don't think you'll get it with a rubber mallet, and the dead blow will chip the paint off as well.

That's typically caused from jacking the car up with a cup or pad style floor jack. Eastwood company sells an attachement for the jack that is made to fit around the channel like the factory scissor jack does.
