OK guy's I have never tried any body work at all. I have done some torch work a long time ago. My "68 SS has some cancer and some old bondo is popping and I would like to get it ready for the paint shop. My question to you is: What do I need in the way of tools and advise to get the job done and done right?
Thanks a lot.

An air compressor and a die grinder with a ziz wheel is a good start. It wouldn't hurt to order a spot weld cutter from Eastwood if you plan on replacing 1/4 panels. Of course you'll need a mig welder at some point, which you may be able to rent. A DA is a must along with a straight line body sander. You also need hand sanders for block sanding.
I know I've probably missed a few other things.
