I was nervous about doing it myself, but after trying to find a bodyman that showed interest in this type of work, I gave up looking and decided to become that bodyman myself. The first guy that replaced the driver's side quarter, roof skin, and rear deck filler panel took 6 months for those three pieces. I had wanted him to do the tubs as well, but I got tired of waiting and went and picked up the car. I guess it was a blessing in disguise the way it happened, because I found so much more than I had originally anticipated once I got it back home.

Trust me, it's really not hard. Just keep fitting and tweaking until it can't get any better, then weld her up! It's more intimidating than anything for us rookies!
