The issue with the "newer" metal is not that it is thinner, most in fact is not thinner, but because the metal is not mild or draw quality steel but rather high or ultra high strength steel.
This metal is stronger and also tends to spread the damage out farther.
The same basic principles apply to the metal used on a 32 ford as does a 09 ford. You just need to work harder when dealing with the newer stuff.
Heres my 2007 dodge truck, used the same methods and tools as any other project just took longer to work.
