i believe that internal parts are formed first in grids and the profiles cut and then you take the steal sections, warp them to the needed curve and cut them to weld onto the grid parts on the inside that brace the structure... bending steel of sufficient thickness to do this takes a LOTTA force and rigging
you can probably get by with thinner surface panels if you make more thick inner parts, those are flat, just have to be cut to the profile they are bracing for, not sure if you can picture it in your mind but looking at the internals of plastic moldings is a similar principle, i forget what they call that "skeletonised" or something
