Compound curve is another matter. Either heat or explosive forming would be necessary.
I’d only need to curve the last 2 feet or so after the muffler though. I’d have the 60 inches going straight mostly, then just curve the last section to the bumper

Seems like the rear wheel spats will be tricky too because of the more rounded 3D shape. Hopefully the dibond isn’t too freakishly stiff like steel. The normal thin aluminum sheets were waaay too wobbly

I really hope I’m not getting too far in over my head on this
