Default Old car guy - metal shaping newbie

I have been around cars my entire life; engine work, body work, paint & modifications etc. With that I have not created any shaped metal part from scratch other than in a milling machine. I have a frame with suspension, engine, trans and brakes but no body. Very ambitious... but I would like to design and fabricate my own body. I can TIG so joining panels is doable. Here to learn.
