get a piece of 2024-t4 aluminum sheet and start working that. I like this chart. Stay away from what is commonly known as "aircraft" quality

The 5000 series is probably best all around for a fender.

I agree with the above - 5042 should work well, you can specific the temper as well (H number). THere are a lot of aluminum alloys with very specific properties, not all suited to cold working. I do metal spinning and usually use 1100 series H0 temper, the metal starts out very soft but is much harder by the time I am done working it.
