I had some time over the weekend to try and make a panel for my spyder. Unfortunately I only have hand tools (besides a drill and a jigsaw) so everything is shaped and bent by hand. I am happy with the finished result, but it would be nice to get crisp right angles on the folds. I just need to tweek it to fit properly to the car and then move onto the other side...
   At the end of the day, when it is painted, I want it to look like this original one...

Andrew,
I'd say you came really close. with hand tools you can tighten the crease with a wood "V" and a made of wood chisel work from the inside of the fold, OR clamping the panel between 2 stiff boards or angle iron pieces and tap on another board along the fold from the outside. I don't see a need but you're there and know more what you want.

Thanks for the tip Doug. I sandwiched the sheet between two pieces of timber and viced it then slowly bent it by hand. I didn't want to hammer it as I didn't want the dents to clean up after - another board is a great idea!
