Dan, you are now at the hard part of learning to straighten damaged sheet metal. You have to learn how to read the damge and reverse the damage from the original poin of impact. you also have the problem of the secondary damage done with the slide hammer pulling on the drilled holes and stretching that area s it was pulled close enough to cover with filler. You also have te problem of getting to the backside of the panel to support the panel as you work wih hammers and dolly to straighten the panel. There are a lot of things all at once.
You first hve to planish all of the dmaged areas with a hammer and dolly that match the curve of the panel. You now have to figure out where the sheet metal was stretched and shrink this area untill it lays as original. As a beginner this is a hard panel to do with out help and experience but patience can pereservere. The book The Key To Metal Bumping By FRank Sargent sold by Martin hammer tool dealers tells you how to do this corectly and with practice you cqn do it.Dutch
