I agree, I could do that but, I couldn't cut a sheet out as neatly or accurately as a cnc laser. And as its on the exterior of the car and always visible I think it could be worth pushing the boat out.

As I've built to saturns plans and omitted the rear panel rails I'll need to back track and retrofit them however the appeal of ally bodywork is growing...

I wouldn't worry about neat and accurate edges. Most of them are hidden from view. Also, whatever marring you put onto panels from the blocks of wood when bending the panels, it will pale in comparison with the damage you'll get when using the car :-)
