I have never done bodywork/paint on a car before.
I have a few dings in my '74LE (very minor) and I am dying to get it looking as good as I can for next summer. Since I have no experince, should I try/not try to learn how to paint/fix dents on my own? On one hand, I would feel better doing the job myself. On the other hand, I don't want to screw it up worse than it already is... (it isn't that bad)... A) In your opinion, Should I? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) How do I learn how to paint stuff? |

I don't want to hijack the thread, but I had a similar question.
What is the best way to cut body panels (or in my case, a front trunk floor) accuratly so that you can wled in a replacement? I'd imagine that it has to be pretty prescise, how do you go about doing it. Sawzall, sabre saw, angle grinder with cutoff wheel? Zach |
