Welcome to the site. I feel that if you have no experience in shaping metal you need to learn to walk before you can run. Making a wing is a big job on its own. Taking a course is all very good and I have taught vehicle restoration at Colchester Institute on and off for twenty years.(the original restoration course in the UK).

Using a wheeling machine is far from intuative and it is one thing to make a very small patch panel on a buck when you are being shown every step of the way. It is another to get a good understanding of how metal works when you shape it.
