All depends on what youre doing. Body work involves alot. Are you filling a few holes or rebuilding a front end? Somthing in between maybe?

 

dents on the side of the car and roof panel

 

If they are a good size I would try to pull em out first. Especially if you plan on using bondo. If you fill the whole dent with bondo it will begin to crack as the body flexes under normal driving conditions.

Like stated before, bondo isnt the best stuff to use anymore.

 

Bondo Brand is deff not good to use at all. Other brand "Body Fillers" work fine as long as you prep it right and use it correctly, that's where people mess it up.

If anything, you should just take the money to a professional to get it done right.

 

What a question! I mean if you cut your car in 1/2 and try to put it back together I sure it could get quite difficult, but if you are trying to fix a minor rust spot on the corner panel or something it will not be TO hard.

 

just to cut and replace the roof will cost almost 1700

 

Maybe you should take a few quick pictures of what your talking about. I don't know shit about body work, but i would bet a lot more people could give you more in depth tips towards fixing it. Just my opinion.

 

Yea I have never heard of having to cut the roof off and replace it just to remove dents. Did you have some cows dancing on there or sumthin?

 

lol at people thinking body work is easy... come fix some of the wrecks i gotta deal with everyday and try saying its easy... to me its an art.
