I just sacrificed and sectioned an old hood I had that was rusted out across the top along the back brace and at the hinges. Other than that it's bend stuff by hand or over anything that resembles what I'm looking for. Pie cut or slice here and there. I don't have any metal shaping tools.
Going to take some filler to smooth it out, but should look fine and provide a nice blank canvas for a pinstriper!
