Today I got around to defining the oil can area(s). Turns out there are two of them.
In the pics, the inner circles are where the bending takes place when cycling the oil can, and the outer marks are where when pushing along the line, the metal doesn't move. The straight line along the left side of the first pic is where the inner roof starts, so won't be able to use a donut dolly there for shrinking. May have to go with heat there. Pic 1 is taken from above the passenger door and Pic 2 is taken from above the driver's door.

Any thoughts where to start shrinking? I'm seeing some lumps in the lower left of Pic 1 that are probably good candidates. That's near where the metal is highest within the bigger circle. I'm thinking leave the smaller circle alone till the larger one is almost gone.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
