I started on the filler neck cover while I'm waiting on new bead roller dies to dimple the trunk floor. They should be here tomorrow.
To start, I made "tucks" in the edge using a set of modified Vice-Grips that "MP&C" posted about in the Garage/Tool section on 67-72chevytrucks.com awhile back. Hammering these out will cause the edge to shrink. The middle was stretched with a mallet and sand bag.

First quick pass through the planishing hammer to see the rough shape. Needs more stretching to raise the top still.
