I doubt it's mine eitther, but minor repairs, such as smoothing a slightly curved panel...could be something that takes time, but with $30 dollars worth of tools, you can save $700 bucks...like those guys who need timing belts. Start simple...then move on to the more complicated and mistakeless jobs.

Welll I got the metal almost flush, but the opening is to small to get a spoon or dollie in, so I'm gonna leave this to the pros. No wonder people leave stuff alone...it's kinda of frustrating. It would have been easier if I could put a dollie behind the metal...but I don't feel like buying more tools.

Yeah, the part I was gonna do was simple, except one I took everything off and realized that I didn't have any rear access to the panel...I didn't have the tools to flatten it, once it was pulled out. So I gave up.

So tomorrow I'm going to get some hammers and dollies. I've always wanted to take a shot at some minor body repair so here's my chance, there' s only a small amount of metalwork necessary which should be perfect for a beginner. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject. Wish me luck. If I get this down, next is welding or tuning. I want to be a GOD! 
well he can
