Body Body Repair Guide or Writeup Resource

[Shop3]

Does anyone have a resource for learning body repair...cutting out bad areas and welding in new metal and filling and bonding. Completely new to body work but can weld. I am sure its been covered here but I am not finding the resource I am looking for. Really looking for a loose how to type article that covers basic repair...not master craftsmanship.

Trying to get a hand on how much of this I can do as I look at Jeeps coming up for sale. Need to be able to handle it myself.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I do not have any resources other than you tube. I learned the basics on my own years ago, before you tube and did quite a few full builds from rust buckets to show car. I will say what everyone says.....paint is 99% prep work. From the very first tap of the hammer to the last coat of clear the hardest part is the prep. Not heating and warping the sheet metal is key when replacing metal. You want a clean repair that requires the least amount of fillers to blend it in.
I have spent up to 100 hours prepping one fender for that last coat of paint.

Here are a few of the vehicles I did in the past....
