find a piece of heavy wall pipe that's a snug fit, bevel the end slightly, tap it in carefully, if there's enough depth to get in a bit and no real kinked creases it might work

before or after paint and body?

Before: find a piece of steel pipe that fits inside, (I had a cannonball that worked perfect), and get your hammer to work. A little MAP gas torch heat will make the job go faster. If you have any cracks weld them up and shape it while it is still hot from the weld.

After: I will leave to the Paint and body experts.
