Complex Sheet Metal - castrol oil can

Can someone help with this. Ok the base and handle are no issue, what
about the top part?

Can SW actually do this as proper sheet metal?

You wouldn't do those old Castrol oil cans in sheet metal. That would be
in lofts and sweeps territory. SW won't do warped surfaces like that in
sheet metal.

It's two simple truncated cones, and a missing third cone demarking the
filler opening. It'll layout pretty easily by hand, and even easier with the
3D sketch of the intersections. The faired juncture between the base and
spout is only mildly interesting, since it will be formed by a roller die
(also pretty straightforward). If you're really after a problem and a
project, try wheeling and spooning it by hand. The layout is straight
textbook stuff.
