One step closer. I have to tell you that I was giggling like a little school girl when the box got here. The guys at work were like 'what is it, what is it!! Umm.. what that? Is that all?'

I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Let's se if you can MANGLE your practice kit as well as I did! Mine had more smiles and stand up rivets than I could count! ...it taught me as much about drilling out rivets as putting'em in!
...so much so that I ordered another one!

That looks similar to the project we had to make in school when in the Navy except we made all the parts/items from scratch. This was an exercise to do flat pattern layout including bend allowance/deduction, and the use of various shop tools.
Your grade starts out at 100% for your project and points were deducted for various "mistakes" including tool marks on your alclad.
We were required to maintain 1/32" tolerances on all measurements, and you deducted points for that as well.
You could also "buy" another piece of metal if you made too many mistakes on one of yours, but the price was a significant amount of points removed from your grade. Thats when the term "measure twice, cut once" really sticks in your mind.
When the project was complete and graded, the instructor punctured a hole in the uper and lower skin surfaces to simulate bird strike damage.
Then we had to do a flush patch repair on on side.
The other side we were to remove the damage and fabricate a flush type access panel to simulate incorporating an Airframes Change.
