Need body help!!!

Ok so i am fixin up my 88 f250. Everything is in great shape besides the body. I got a quote for the body work and paint and i couldnt believe it. 4000$!!! That is insane. Anyway i was wondering if anyone could tell me the basic procedure for repairing the damaged body panels. I can weld. I just need help with the bondo part of it. The rear wheel wells are shot so it will need those. I also want to know what to do to prep the truck for paint. Any questions please ask. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cut out the rust and weld the patch panels in, then if you need to, thin layers of filler and sand smooth.
