Here is the best advise I can give you.

Buy as many books and shop manuals as you can. The best tool in the tool box in knowledge, so educate yourself in all aspects including paint and body work. You may want to tackle this yourself. Always were protective eye ware and hearing protection when using power tools.

If you have tools, great.

Last and but not least,ask your questions and concerns no matter how stupid you may think they are. There are a lot of experienced people here that can give you great advise and provide you with many "why didn't I think of that" scenarios... AND DON'T FORGET...POST THOSE PIX... I love to see the progress. Good luck.
