Hi Marcus and welcome to allmetalshaping. Having experience in sheet metalwork is a good start. Probably half of what is needed in restoring a vehicle is flatwork (as it is known in the coachbuilding trade) A large portion of the rest of the work is welding and I presume you have some experience in this although you may need to learn some new techniques in this regard. Hand shaping and finishing techniques are the hardest part of the skill to learn but the most essential. Working with machines will come with a little practice.
