I'm saving my aluminum beer cans for you - I'll expect a nice polished alloy 550 Spyder out of them.  Years ago I had a '62 356 Knotchback Coupe.  I bought all the lead, paddles, and insulating putty to try to lead in bottom of fenders and doors.  A lesson would have helped.  I gave up and used a silver aluminum looking bondo.  

I bet there are some good U-tubes on it out there and Eastwood has the tools.

Watching those guys work with the English wheel and shrinking/stretching hammers shows real skills.  New Wheeler-Dealers had Ant (I do miss Ed!) do rust repair pieces for an old Saab 96.

     Bruce look up Ron Covell. He is in the LA area. I took a two day class from him and learned a lot. Only bad thing is it is not hands on, he bends and you watch. It’s still very informative. There is a guy up north, somewhere around San Francisco named Lazze. He has great classes, all hands on and there is a variety offered. A little high priced but great.

     The alternative is, Lazze has a lot of YouTube videos that show you exactly how he does it.  I have a small English wheel and an assortment of hammers, dollies, forms and a bag. I also have a cheap bead roller. If you manage to piece a few of these things together and watch some videos, you will be surprised what you can do by fooling around.
