Cool ideas, Repousse'
Houston has some fine collections of old cars.
Why not have a whack with the basics to let your arm and shoulders limber up, and "get the good feel" on a 24in square of 3003 alloy x .050" thickness ....?
I think there is loads of "wheeling machine" info here - to peruse in your spare minutes - while resting from the hand-working. Good way to build anticipation.

Start with what you can/where you can and then go on from there.
By constant effort and practice, things will happen for you.
