    you may have to do it in many more pices with steel like said.a power planshing hammer would be a good to have. a forming head .fender maker # mfh01 may work good for this from fournier enterprises inc.3003 aluminum will work the good for this i have been told and have made oil pans and gas tanks out of 3003 aluminum and works very good soft. you could howl out a wooden tree stump and beat it in to it. steel will be harder to stretch and shrink the steel in to that shape with out some big tools like a wheel or power hammer i have beat steel but not a track nose
