Remember David for a one off panel like the tail section you mention you don't need to invest in the expense of a wheeling machine and can achieve exactly the same with a few hand tools, sand bag, teardrop mallet, a few hammers and dolly's. The tail on this car was all hand shaped, and planished, the only thing wheeled was the boot lid and that could I have done by hand as well. As for noise you will still beed to bash the shape in with a mallet and sand bag before wheeling it smooth, otherwise you will be wheeling for days and days to achieve the same amount of shape.
I should add that like Mark Atkinson I am a self taught but enthusiastic amateur who has built a few cars rather than a professional metal worker like Duncan Grimond.
