Ken, making that panel will teach you a lot about metal shaping. You will probably want to make it in several pieces. Depending on what tools you have will influence how you go about make it. Start by making a flexible shape pattern.

Hi
Joe,
I thought a good start would be to line the panel with a slip lube and fill it with concrete and fiber glass mesh. Then when when concrete harden I would have a reverse mode of the piece I need. I thought I would shape the sheet metal so it would match the mode for the radius part. Then I would make a metal die that shape the extrusion towards the center of the cap. What do think of that. Is there a better way. I have many metal tools except the wheel, shrinker, expander, slapper. Ken

There are lots of ways to produce shape in a panel. I have never tried what you suggest so I can't comment of that.
