I strongly urge you to try and get a quote from a "paintless" dent repair place. They specialize in hail damage, and do a much better job at getting the dents out of sheetmetal than traditional bodywork. My dad's '64 Impala SS has hail damage on the hood from long ago, and no amount of bodywork will repair it so that you can't see the hail damage. He ended up needing to find a new hood for it, that will go on the next time the car is painted.
