Teaching myself metalwork?

Good day all,

I am currently starting the build of my 49 GMC 5 window. I'm doing the s10 frame swap and getting it running and driving well as a stage 1.

Here's where I run in to problems. It needs floors, probably inner and outer cab corners as well as some cowl work. Do you guys think it would be feasible to teach myself the skills for metal work? I have a background as a welder and some basic fab skills, but I just don't know where to start with sheet metal work. I do have a space to work in as well as some basic fab tools.

Any advice would be awesome.

P.S. There is someone here that is willing to teach me, but his work isn't that great. If I'm going to learn, I want to learn to do it right.
