If you have a garage, air tools and can do some work or learn. Do the body and prep yourself. Its not rocket science LOL!!!!!! Depends on the rust, you might have get a shop to do that. But basic dents,changin' sheet metal, fill and block, and primer you can do the prep. Get opinions and ideas on what and not to do. I've had 4 body guys look at my work and got postive from all. One guy I know came to look and was very impressed,says he can't get ant thing done for less than 5k. You can pay the big bucks or get the satisfaction of doin' part yourself. Good luck
