I am going to say this for the good of humanity and primarily yourself.
Unless you have been working with body repair as a profession somewhere before do not start this project. You will end up doing about half the decent job they do and turning it into a disaster. Trust me there is nothing worse than overdo what you are about to do such as break lines, break curves, not follow slopes, have stuff tilting, improper ground surface etc etc etc. Also from point you are done// lets just theorise you do accomplish your task. a quick rain will soak well into primer thus everything you have done up to this point will go bye bye. Do this. go to maaco, go to anywhere and get the bodywork done. That will cost you about 700 tops. Save up a little and get car painted elsewhere -------------------- Captain Pessimist
