Geoff I used the following:
selection of hammers, dollies, sheet metal shears, Mig welder to weld the angle steel jig, Oxy Acetylene with 000 tip to hammer weld the sheet metal and a spot welder to attach the rear panel to the wing.
To form the wired edge the sheet metal was clamped between thick MDF board that had the profile of the edge that needed to be turned 90 degrees matching this profiled shape. After removal from the form, the edge was further turned back and the wire added and the lip closed and clenched.
Hope this is what you wanted to know.
Cheers,
Stephen
