I have everything +75/25, -4.5 grinder. Tools aren't the problem, I have the tools. What I don't have, is the confidence to cut up or hit my car with a hammer. I would love to have the opportunity to be taught. I don't know if I can do self taught on my car though.

Go to your local junkyard, pull a old fender off the same vintage car you have.
Practice on it, welding straightening etc.
All old cars have some rust and dents from age.
Junkyard fender will be cheap, and you can use it for patches in your car later in needed.
