Just take a look at what these guys are fabricating with very basic hand tools, especially the large floor panel with all the swaging.
Was slow to load when I viewed it but worth the wait!

The pics where he shows how he makes the floorpan indentation/stiffeners is incredable. All by hand with hammer and chisel. What those guys can do with basic tools is awesome. It takes half a day to view the entire thread but is is well worth it.
