I used a wood buck for the 356 piece, but a shot bag was better. I tuck formed over a steel mandrel but most of the work was hammer and dolly.

Now let me tell you the secret: you mostly free form the piece, then weld it in place. Now you have things secured where you can go after the thing with a vengeance.

I learned this on the 914 rear flares. Beat the crap out of them from the inside with a BF ball pein hammer making hellacious dimples that you simply work down with a slapper and a dolly. Everything "grows" into shape.
