Replacing Bottom of Powerbook G4

[marvelous1_555]

Hey there. I dropped my PowerBook G4 15" a few days ago, didn't do any hardware damage but left a nice ding along the front on the bottom, machine still runs as smooth as silk, and I took it to a Mac repair specialist who told me it would run about 400 or so bucks w/ labor to replace the bottom and for a new bottom. I was thinking about doing it myself, but thought the work involved in basically switching all the parts would be a real hastle. If anyone thinks I can do this or doesn't recommend me to do it, and should just get it professionally replaced, I'd appreciate some input. Also, if there is a FAQ/tutorial or instructions on how to do this, send 'em on over if you recommend I can do it myself.

Thanks in advance
