I have a 99 Grand Prix (either GT or SE, cant' remember) waiting on me back home. The passenger's side front quarter panel is crushed in on it due to a freak accident with a skid steer. The only damage underneath the hood was a headlight mounting bracket, which was easily fixed. How hard would it be to replace it? I have very minimal experience with body work, the biggest I've done was replace a rear passenger window on an '04 Neon SXT. Would it be very difficult to figure out, or am I better off paying our local auto body shop?
Next up, there's a couple huge cracks in the windshield that spidered out from a chip from a rock. Is windshield replacement something to leave to the professionals? Or is it possible to do it myself?

Thanks in advance.
Have someone else do the windshield. Yeah, technically it's possible for you to do it, but in reality you're not gonna get it done, and afer all this is your windshield, have someone do it right.

The windshield you should skip. There are a few tools you need, which you could buy, but in reality if you actually get the windshield in without breaking it, it's going to leak.
