What is some advice you can give a newcomer?
Just have patience and think your way through it. Always think two or three steps ahead of what you're doing and don't worry about screwing up because you WILL. Remember, a cut off tool, grinder, hammer, dolly, and welding machine can fix anything on the car so don't be scared about screwing something up.

Also, do your homework on the reproduction panels. Some fit better than others. Certain panels (no matter which brand) have certain issues that will need to be addressed. It's better to know these things before you weld them on. Finally, just fit the panels until they can't fit any better and then weld them up. It's really not as bad as it looks. It just takes time and patience...oh and money! Good Luck.
