Novice panel pounder in ohio

[Rs812]

Hello all!

My name is Ryan Thompson and i live in wauseon, ohio. I am currently in the process of restoring a 1957 mga. After seeing what several self-proclaimed experts attempt to pass off as restortion in the form of globe of bondo, i became proufoundly frustrated. After doing some searching, i found this forum and am hoping to pick up some tips and advice on producing a filler free finish. I'm lucky in so much as the mga has zero rot, but it has its fair share of ovr 50 years of dents and dings which need finessed out. I refuse to accept the conventional body shop production environment attitude of bringing a dent 90 percent out with hammer and dollh and mudding in the rest. Thus, i found my way to this forum.

Thanks in advance!

Ryan
