Lessons learned: body work is no joke. Seriously. If you want it to look factory-fresh, take it to a body shop. Same with the paint. Constant filling, sanding, huge piles of bondo dust. Way more of a mess and way more work than I anticipated. Im pleased with the way mine turned out, but I had lots of time to chip away at it. Did I mention the bondo dust? In your hair, ears, clothes, every nook and cranny in your garage. Almost 2 years later and I'm still finding it in my garage.

Tools- I was able to borrow a buddys mig welder, other than that all I needed was a sawzall, angle grinder, die grinder, and a 12'' body sander. Oh, and a good respirator...3M charcoal canister ftw
