Thanks for the incouragement Bendr, I'll sneak up on it. I'm not a big fan of filler as a substitute for working the metal. Since I'm retired and not doing this to put bread on the table I can afford to take as much time as it takes to do it right. I've worked with lead and prefer it to bondo if I need to level it a bit, especially in an area like this with short compound curves where there isn't much worry about warpage.
Never used the studs in body work but it seems that just using a slide hammer to slam out a low spot would localize the the pressure and create a bunch of bumps. Seems like it would be better to hook the stud and put steady pull pressure on the low spot while you bumped the high spot.
