Body work websites?
Those of you that have done body work yourselves as far as bondo, fiberglassing, etc, are there any good websites that you have found that I can teach myself how to do it? I need to do a little more work to my cab to make it exactly how I want it and need some guidance. Thanks!

I found it isn't as hard as I thought but you need to get it smoother than you'd think and if you are filling holes you need to sand it down to where there is more bondo than just some in the holes or they will show through the paint. Mainly I learned it takes a lot of time. I did my '92 GMQ first and learned a lot from it on what I did right and wrong.
