    Abstract: The Wheel Well Straightener of the present invention consists of a curved panel having one or more grasping channels for effectively grasping a segment of a damaged wheel well. The Wheel Well Straightener of the present invention also includes an attachment hole such that a come-along, frame machine, power post, hook and chain, or any other suitable pulling apparatus known in the industry can successfully be attached to provide the tension necessary to reform the dented wheel well. Once tension is applied, the Wheel Well Straightener may be advanced along the pinch-weld of the wheel well to smooth any damaged portions and return them to the original wheel well shape.
