Looks like you have a great build at the ready.
I thought like you at the beginning, well 20-30 yrs ago. Why pay someone when I could buy the necessary tools and learn to do it myself.
Here is a link to my build on lower door patch repair., Its similar to lower fender repair. My stuff isn't as good as the pros. Still learning.
There is also a gamete of tons of other stuff too but you'll have to muster up the courage to read through the thread if you dare. lol
