Certainly I am looking to accomplish what John C displays in Kodak Album,
but I need detailed instruction, etc. I have googled this thing to death but
still cannot find suitable instructions, preferably with pictures for this
crayola kid! So far I have learned that there exists a tool called a Stud
Welder, which, when coupled with a Slide Hammer, can serve to pull out
dents. But I see that I will have to do some skin replacement too and my
questions are along the lines of 'do I butt the skins together and tack
weld? If so, how do you fill this in?.... or do I need to weld a base
beneath both surfaces, etc. How is existing skin removed at the seams,
chisel? torch? As you can see, this is virgin territory for me and I need a
tutorial..............

Thanks,

Miguel
