How to fix this...

I had parked behind my father a few weeks ago and he didn't realize it when he got in his car(rav 4). He just put it in reverse and backed right into me. It bend my hood so it came up be the driverside headlight and along the fender. I had been putting two pieces of wood from the floor to the hood to keep it up(supported by the wood) and put two car batteries on top of the hood to straighten it out. It work extremely well, just the last little bit stays up. this is a picture of what I am dealing with. How can i fix the rest?

Body shop could fix that pretty easily I'd assume. Are you friendly with any?

I'd assess the relationship with your father.

No, I dont want to go, thats the thing. Just wondering if there needs to be more weight applied or something, I'm not spending money.

You're going to have to bend it further than it previously was to get it back.
