Sheet metal enclosures... inspire me

@temol -

Very creative enclosures!

Two questions/thoughts which both appear amenable to sheet metal enclosures.

Can you make a 2-piece enclosure that slides out (or has a hinged panel) for easy internal access? E.g., for quick adjustment to a trimmer or DIP switch, battery replacement, etc. E.g., akin to this type of a structure - don't look at the exact shape, just that it slides out. With detents that prevent the enclosure from sliding/opening on its own, there's no need for screws and it would still provide good shielding when closed.

What about more curved shapes? E.g., like the pic below - which also reminds me of the old Citroen Deux-Cheveaux car (ignoring tires and fenders). Seems possible with a 2-piece enclosure - bottom and sides could be 90° bends (just with rounded shapes for sides), and top would be rectangular pieces that are then formed by a roller (or perhaps formed to a mold shape via a vacuum pump + bag, as is done in woodworking for veneering).
