How to do molding, casting, sculpting, or scratch building to customize an old metal Hubley kit

I wonder if any of you may know of books or 'how tos' for making customized parts to enhance the engine (etc.) on an old Hubley kit. I want to enhance the detail on the vehicle as much as I can, but I've only worked with plastic and PE aftermarket in terms of increasing realism in a model. I don't know the first thing about molding or casting, or taking things further, how to work with scratch building things such as the spokes in the 1932's wheels. The level of detail on those old kits is in need of improvement to say the least.
I apologize for the expansiveness and generality of this query. It's been a hard nut for me to crack in terms of learning how to customize with metal or resin on an old metal model kit.
kind regards,
Will
