Tools list
Ok, so in the spring I plan on starting the body work on my 1988 GTA.(pictured below) You can see she has a dent behind the drivers door. I was told in another thread that I could try to get it as straight as possible and smooth it out with filler. My question is what tools should I start picking up now to get me ready for the job? I have a decent spray gun and I am getting a compressor soon. I know i will also need a dent puller. Are these hard to use for a beginner? Any tips and tool tricks would be welcome. Thanks in advance, and wish me luck.

Re: Tools list
Well I'm no body man (I'm more of a painter) but I would say a welder, ball peen hammer, slide hammer, a small piece of 2x4,some bondo, and primer ought to cover the bases.
