Body Work

Does anyone know of a good book or knowledge on how to do body work? I'm new to it but would like to be able to do it all myself. I'm looking to repair anything possibly and prime it myself. Then have someone paint it. It is "OK" to prime it and it sit primed until i'm complete and then have it painted? I've heard that it's really easy for rain/water to get under primer and rust it out if left for any period of time. If so, what is the best way to go about this?

x2...and I would suggest a good quality set of body tools to make the work easier. It may cost more, but it'll make the work more comfortable and keep you from hating your truck...haha.

I took 3 yrs of collision repair in school. And i dont ever remember fixing one wrecked car. All we did was build street rods. Ill be honest no matter how many books you read or hom many hundreds of dollars you spend on top notch tools its something that you have to get a feel on.
