Hi,
I feel the part is doable with 2024-T3 material. I recommend mocking it up with paper first to confirm your CAD drawings. I recommend .04" instead of .032" as you will need to blend out tool marks and you could thin the material to much in 032.

I would recommend the use of a English wheel or planish hammer, do you have this kind of tooling?

What is the make one model of your project.?

CHEERS,

BILL
