John;
TNT also works but the dies need to be a bit more robust. Don't laugh--
explosive forming has been around for a long time.

Howdy,
for answers to metal shaping questions, go to www.metalmeet.com largest
gathering of metalshapers in the world. I was at the latest metal meet
down
in Oblong IL. last month, WOW! is all I gotta say, guys making panels
for
37 willys, 1910 maxwells, gas tanks, steel baseball hats, roses, how to
lead body panels, english wheel demos and training, power hammers,
planishers, stretchers/ shrinkers, how to weld tig, mig, gas weld
aluminium, paintless dent removal, 9 days for 100$....great time, great
bunch of guys.....highly recommended.....
another way is to carve out forms bolt together and use a high pressure
grease gun to push the dome out....water pressure works too, and if it
blows is a little less messy,, ( ask me how I know).....
