    ya,,,(this is very good advice),i went to night classes,myself,not manyabout 3 or 4 nights,watched a buncha guys,did some repairs,everyone is doing something diferant,,atleast go in ,and watch,what a guy is doing with big dents,,,maybe pro body shop,,just ask if you can watch,a while..if you do decide to tackle yourself,dont dorget the cheese graters,too shape bondo, and a good gitterbug sander,with 3 sheets 36grit,for first coatsa bondo,carefull comes off fast,once its getting close to shape,switch to 80 gritget 6 uses out of each sheet..of coarse work the hammer and dolly real good,and try to get the dents out completely,use thin coats a plastic filler when u are ready take your time,some times big dents,take a couple days,or more,and need a little heat,too get them right,,some times you have to just change the part,,too far gone..also need to grind parts down to metal,before bondo,for best results,body sander,with 36 grit,,sorry couldnt finish this last nite was exhausted,,,good luck bob,,have a ball
  19. mowerman
    buy yourself a good body hammer,and a pretty heavy body dolly,dent puller is a little easier,,but dont recomend,for antique parts,try to pound out as much as possible from the back,without going too far out, ...gallon body filler,and a couple of squeegy,s,and a bondo board,for dents...frame rust,,gitterbug sander,with 80,sandpaper,for real thick rust,,36 paper,with circular sander...small holes,better have a body shop weld repair steel patches,,best way,,cement on rearend,and springs...chip off with wood chisal,and hammer,,,too get started,,that should keep you busy,dont forget lotsa beer.lol,,good luck,bob

    well im pretty sure,by 01,they probably profected them a bit,,but looks like your saying,,they still hang up in nuetral,,,personally,i think i would prefer the two stick,,atleast you know it will go in,,of coarse the auxilary hangs up,also on the two stick,if you try to go too fast,,then you have to stop,and untangle it...sucks,man.lol.bob
