.......I'm looking for some advice on doing body work and painting.

i've got a '71 squareback with fading, cracking paint and surface rust,
and a few small dings here and there.  i'm very mechanically inclined,
but have never done any body work -- but am eager to learn how.

i'd like to take all the old paint off down to bare metal, get the rust
out, fix the dings, then prime and repaint the whole car (or maybe have
it professionally painted after i do the prep work).

anyone out there with advice for a body repair novice?  any good sources
of info?  any good books i should check out?  also, i live in seattle,
so if anyone knows of a good body/paint shop around here, that would be
great too!

thanks!

   Go take a class, Lake Washington Votech used to have a bodywork course. 
As for stripping to metal, there's a place in Woodinville that bead blasts 
with plastic media(takes off the bondo too), cost my neighbor $400 for 
his'67 Firebird. I haven't checked with him on my T-34 yet.
