You can definitely pull this off without a metal bender or break... For example, you could use a different material... something like a stiff cardboard. You would be able to bend the cardboard over a table edge or something similar as long as it has a clean straight edge.
The cardboard if braced properly could handle some weight...It depends on if you really plan on using the space or if it is more for show. I'm using matte board from Hobby Lobby for my templates and I think that it is rigid enough to make this project a successful one. Especially once the matte board is upholstered... the chosen material/fabric will only add to the strength of the panels.
When my rear seat delete is complete... it will be able to support quite a bit of weight even though I don't plan on loading anything on top of it. I am planning on making a storage compartment for my specialty tools and a few other items though.

Definitely one of the most interesting build threads on this forum. Your originality knows no bounds!
I cant wait for the complete write up! I think i'll do as you say and use a stiffer cardboard material as my base and then throw 1 or two layers of carbon on top.
Possibly too, If you have extra Kydex when all is said and done maybe I could order a pair of those sexy brackets your making and leave you with a nice bit of profit.
Can't wait for updates.
