All MetalShaping - Hello from Houston!

I am a 63-year old retired engineer who is neck deep in putting a V8 into a Triumph Spitfire GT6 and replacing the rear suspension with a Miata suspension. I need to build widened rear fenders, plus a firewall and a host of interior sheet metal pieces.

I plan to purchase an english wheel and plannishing hammer.

I want to take a beginner workshop (2-4 days) to learn how to make the fenders. I have located classes by Fournier, Wray Schelin, the Tin Man, Ron Covell and Jere Kirkpatrick. Any other sources people recommend?

I was referred to this site by Jim Stabe on the British V8 Forum.
