How difficult is auto body work for the mechanically challenged?
Auto body work is an art with a little science thrown in. You are essentially massaging metal to return it to its original shape. A dent is nothing more than stretched metal and it’s not easy to get it back to what it originally looked like. A body technician uses a variety of tools to beat the metal into submission, and applies heat and cold to work it into a usable shape. It’s not easy work, sometime very tedious, and physically demanding. I would give you an “A” for effort if you tried to fix your truck on your own but you could end up making it worse. Good luck.
