The reason I was thinking power hammer was because I've used hammers and dollies with mixed results. I do understand though that a machine won't help with poor technique. Thanks again guys for the welcome and tips! Jeremy

Jeremy as David mentioned no machine in the World will help shaping panels unless you first learn how metal shaping works this comes with
practice, experience, and understanding metal. This will be easier by mastering hand tools first
