I know there are people on this site that do their own bodywork to their car. I'm gonna try to do some of the work myself over the next couple of days. I know that it is not a simple project, but I want to try. Can someone tell me a list of (necessary) things I'll need to buy in order to do it. I have a dent in the passenger rear quarter panel and a couple of dents along the door and front right fender. I'll try to post some pics of the dents I'm talking about.

This could also be a chance for someone to post a How-To article on it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

The damage is pretty extensive. I would take the quick and easy route...Replace the door and panels from a celi in the junk yard.
