Hi Marc, I agree with Joe, being able to join two sections of panel together without causing lots of distortion is an important part of the process and it is the first thing I teach my students at college. Some shaping techniques can only be done once you have mastered getting a good joint. Dressing panels to a good finish is also important because it does not matter how nicely you shape a section if it is out of shape once it is welded in place. it is best to learn the fundamentals before getting into wheeling or any machines.
