Please keep in mind that metal has a memory. I know...that might sound odd but it does. If metal was formed into a shape originally you can coax it back into taking that shape again. Maybe not perfectly but awfully close. You just have to be really patient and work from the outside in on dents. If you start in the middle of a dent you're likely to stretch the metal more and make it all worse. Once upon a time Ditzler or somebody I can't recall put out a small booklet on this that was very helpful and had good illustrations. Patience is really important.
