Aluminum foil for making wrecked car?

[Steamboat]

One of my projects in the near future is to do a wreck. What is the best aluminum foil for holding shape and ease of use?

I remember seeing an article and a hint or two in SAE magazine about using muffler tape, (heavy foil tape) for the outside of the panel then sticking regular household foil on the inside. Attach the muffler repair tape (HVAC Tape) to the panel, then stick the household foil to the rest of the adhesive part of the tape. Then mash it to your hearts content!!

Possibly an aluminum pie plate or baking pan?

Just tried it.  That actually works really well!
