English wheel enthusiasts, look here

I'm interested in fabricating some bicycle fenders (mudguards to you
Brits). Picture a motorcycle fender, but with a much steeper transverse
curve.
Looking for suggestions on how to get the right curves, with a beaded or
folded edge. I have learned a bit about English wheels, but it
feasible to roll the strip by pushing it into the appropiate negative
form?
One difficulty with the English wheel would be that the ones I have seen
would not allow a curve of 180 degree arc.
Ted,
Build an E-wheel with the adjuster at the top and the lower anvil
mount cantilevered out from the frame to allow doing almost 360 degree
arcs.
