I used an air shear to get the panels close to their final shape (using a straight edge for straight lines), and then an air nibbler to get the final shape. I did have to do some filing around the nibbler final cuts, but it wasn't too bad sinc I used a rotary file on a drill. I think the shear was around $35 and nibbler was around $45. Caveat, they did struggle a bit with .085 thick AL, but were great on the .067 I ended up using.
