Welcome to the forum, Andy. Hope your surgery goes well.

You asked for old school, these are old school, but geared more towards collision repair, but the shaping principles are the same. The first one's an old school booklet that has body repair metal shaping. Lots of good old hammer/dolly techniques:

this is good also:

There's a reason this old book is still in print:

There are dozens of more modern books that address shaping from scratch, a partial list is here:
