i went on a vehicle body restoration course, many years ago...The instructor was Brian Dunbar (i think) he was at that time in Practical classics magazine showing how to do bodywork , a great instructor. he showed us how to do everything and we were able to bring in panels and work on them under his supervision. so from there i restored a Beetle then my Stag . i have just finished a complete body restoration and paintwork of my TR6. This needs assembling now.....back to your question ...its all about time and patience ,
and time and patience ! its slow work rubbing down ,filling shaping etc but so rewarding when done. i did buy an air fed mask and all associated filters as i used 2k paint.
My end result in my opinion is a better job than a lot of bodyshops work due to no time restraints,...when its all back together i will await other opinions on the quality of my work !

I also went on one of those vehicle restoration courses,they were good courses dont think they do them any more,very handy being able to bring a car in and use there spray booths
Got a quote for NZD 15k last Friday here in Auckland.
That's if I do nothing. There are dents but only rust is in right front wing. Original paint. So mostly getting the old stuff off.
After 41 years I guess it's ok.
High quality classic resto and hot rod panel beaters/painters.
