Because the RV series is mostly flat sheet cut to shape with minor bends. The few pieces with sharp or compound bends are stamped.
As for doing it yourself, it can be done. A member of the local club scratch built an aluminum Daytona Coupe.
As others have stated, english wheel+planishing hammer+tons of practice=Daytona Coupe.
