Try it in two pieces. Get the first one how you want it then drill some small holes in it and screw it to the buck (you can weld them up later) then make the second piece fit neatly and do the same, then weld the parts together. Make them tight rather than baggy so that the weld shrinkage tightens them further then you can stretch with hammer and dolly out to the intended shape.

You're right, it's pretty thin on the edges already. I'll try two pieces next for this area. If I can't get that work I'll make a new buck with a less extreme shape in the area. It would add a bit volume to the tank too, less stops for gas
. Thanks for guidance.
This is a great website, like a virtual classroom.
