Hi Adam I was thinking also you could use a brake as it looks like a fairly flat panel. Have used the two folds and pull the sheet round a bit of tube to make brackets to clamp round tubes before never anything quite as long as a door skin though. Just takes a bit of playing around to get the angle of the folds right , some where in the distant past I could do the math to work it out .

Hi Chris, as a example grab a bit of scrap and scribe two lines 20mm apart parallel along the panel, clamp in folder at first line and fold up to 90 deg, now leavinig it clamped in folder pull down on the metal, till the panel is horizontal and unclamp it from folder, this is the fist half of your swage. Turn the sheet around and do the same thing to the second srcibe line. Many variations are available depending on where and how you push and pull the metal and what angle you fold it at. After a couple of practice shot im sure you will see the possibilities. By the way i always use cold rolled mild steel. To get the right distance of the swage lines of your door skin simply use a paper template, to mark the swage top and bottom, this will be the distance of your scribe lines.
Cheers
