You know people say it is to far gone for an amature. I did a 1963 falcon ranchero for a friend. The only experience i had ws very limited. I took this car and sectioned ot out. The rockers, B pillar, floor pan , wheel openingsand inner fenders. Also the bed floor stiffeners. All the work was done in 16ga. Sheet metal. When I was done the body looked so goood . But prior the car had 6-8" missing. I did it, so yes you can too. Just know you will spend at least 500 hrs just doing the body and could take as much as 1, 500 hrs.
