there's a book called how to paint your car, or something like that,(its out in the shop), very useful with techniques and sanding. Bodywork isn't really all that hard to do, at least for me, you just have to be very picky and not be satisfied with your own work, ever. Always try to get it better and it will look nice under paint, I patched a hole in a fender off a 55 Buick i once owned and it took me about 6 hours to get it where it needed to be(only a 5" hole). Bodywork is very time consuming, but relatively inexpensive to do and worth the time you put into it. As far as engine kits go, you can buy a master kit from Northern Auto Parts of Souix City,NE(they have a website). The kits are made up of high quality parts with pistons, cam and all, price of a 350 kit is $159. I also appologize for the long post and would definitely buy that truck back for $100. That's pretty cheap if there's anything left of it at all.
