rookie paint job

Everyone has or knows someone who has a horror story dealing with body work. If you haven't followed this thread it is worth looking at: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=60748

To me, that is another reason to take body classes if they are available. Actually doing the work under the eyes of a professional. I spent a full quarter working on a rear quarterpanel. It was frustrating as hell, but I was sure happy with the end result. I am sure that I would not have been able to do that if I were working alone in my shop. Also, the school had state of the art tools and equip. to work with.

I am doing the Duster at home in my shop. I don't think I would have had the confidence or skills to replace the tailpanel without having taken those classes. Take advantage of the opportunity!
