This is my first old car so I'm learning as I go on how to "restore"
things and what things I can do myself and what things I can't.
Fortunately she's a good car so I'm not tasked with tons of things to
fix up. >>
I was looking at your pics, and the right side will be where most of the real
work is needed. The dent in the door will probably be the hardest part. The
fender unbolts, so that shouldn't be too bad, but the crazing on hood will
require you to literally strip it down to at least the factory primer. That was as
far as I got before I headed outside to do some similar work. For the most
part though, the car looks fairly straight, so that should make it a little
easier.
