well i finally get to order the radiator and shroud for bertha this week and im starting to look at doing some body work on the cowl, hood and dash. i can paint, but i've never tried body work before so wish me luck. i've been watching utube videos on body repair and im starting to get my confidence up. i need to buy a couple of hammers and i got DH making me a couple of dolly's. i bought the little set that harbor fright sells for $ 30. and it looks like i can use the dolly's but the hammers are so small that i might be able to take a dent out of a beer can maybe with them, but that's about it. here's some before pics.

Jennifer, I did body work on and painted farm tractors for many yrs. I found that a 1 lb, and a 2 lb. ball pien hammer were about rite wt. for tin work on tractors. Have had to use a heaver one at times. Another handy item was a brick layers hammer.
There was a tractor or two that we used the loader to get the fenders lined up!
Good luck with your Ford. clint
