I agree ....... I don't see why it would be that difficult to learn.

Just get a small crowbar, a rubber mallet, piece of 2x4, a small section of a railroad rail and just go tap-tap-tap ........

Don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting you or doubting you ability, maybe just admiring your bravery.

Meh. When I am done with my car it will have about 300K miles of highway time and be virtually valueless. It is already dented and dinged so how much worse can I make it? Not bravery just nothing to lose.

@Tcoat really looking forward to your thoughts on working with these body panels! I myself have been looking at getting a kit.
