I hear you man, I did the same stuff with my moms car. I go to a Tech school too for Auto, The collision repair class fixed a dent and some scratches for a hell of a lot cheaper than a body shop. I don't know if it's the same for you, but here they don't charge for labor since it's the kids working on the car.

Best of luck getting it all fixed up though, and again congrats.

I got to school for electrical, and I know as far as electrical goes. If we go to your house we charge $18 an hour for labor, but we figure out how many hours a "normal" licensed electrician would take and charge that about of hours, not how many it takes us. I'm not sure what auto body charges.

Coulda been way worse, looks like the dent could just pop out. Keep us posted!

Aww, man.
That sucks.
The dent should just pop out. The scratches are going to be a pain since they go almost all the way to the steel it looks like.
The fender flair is going to be expensive.

the scratches are down to the primer, not sure how deep though. And I was considering taking all the flares off for the time being. And if I had to buy new ones, I only need the back ones, but still expensive because I bought bushwackers in the first place.
