well I'm no body man and don't have very much experience but I did do some body work on an old 79 f-100 I had and am about to fix the rust on my hatch before I need a new one
My best tip for you is take your time and do a good job, especially if you are painting it a darker color (like black as I am) any little imperfection will show. Get rid of all rust, down to bare metal and use some bondo, it's pretty straight forward, and after you think you have it perfect after a layer or two of bondo don't forget the glazing and spot putty. it will give you a much better finish than bondo. And lastly, don't be afraid to spend some extra time with some very fine sand paper to make sure it is smooth, an 800 grit works well between layers of paint. good luck with it and if you can I would for sure enlist the help of your buddy that does body work. It is almost an art rather than a mechanical job.
