Also might be a good candidate for a 2-piece fabrication. Form the straight part, cut the edge to match the curve and weld the curved part to it. It would be pretty easy to shrink the return flange to curve the part to be welded on. Forming that smaller flange might be tough to do over a buck after getting the curved part formed. Some shrinking would be needed and the other portion might be in the way of doing that on the complete piece. Or if the compound part is in decent shape, cut it off and weld a new straight section to it.
