Thanks, Frank.  I know the basics, but was hoping for some info about where 
to place the dolly and how hard to bang, etc.  I bought a cheeep body work 
set from Harbor Freight when it was on sale.  It has three small BFH's (now 
there's an oxymoron) and a buncha dollies.  I still haven't unwrapped most of 
it.  I have never actually used dollies and a hammer for body work.  (Yet!)  
Might as well practice on my son's car!

I'll pick up a book on generic body work.

BTW, this entire car is made of Asian metal.  It's a Mazda!
