Default 1936 panel left rear lower panel help

100_0090.ev.owa Ok - before I get to far along in this project, I thought I'd better ask question. I've seen other posts where someone has done the work - then asked, and found a better way. So here is what I have messed up so far....... The big orange dot is a dent that goes from inside to out - I did try to dolly it but no luck. Then I used a torch to shrink it but no luck. Now it's wavy. The very bottom orange line is an embossed body line that I will have to make at some point. Orange line is a dent that goes from out to in. The small orange dot with holes is a dent that I put a 5/16 bolt with washers and tightened the bolt and pulled it flat. I guess I will tig weld those holes. Does anyone have suggestions where to start it ????? It would be much appreciated ! Working with hand tools but would purchase anything that might be suggested to get better results. I've heard you can do just about anything with hand tools and I am trying to stay on a budget. Thanks. -Harry
*first picture is my truck. 2nd picture is how the embossed body line is supposed to look - a friend's truck.

What is on the inside of the panel, do you have access to the inside? The first thing I would do is to remove the paint in that area you are working on so you can see what you really have to work with. The inside will also have to be clean.

Harry, Looking at the truck it looks like there is a lot of wood inner structure. You need to make sure the the body is supported properly so that there is no weight stress introduced into the outer body panels. Just something else to look at.
