First of all,put the torch away.You don't want or need heat on sheet metal! You can use hammers,dollys,rubber blocks or any number of things to straighten out sheet metal. There's really no magic to it.Get it as straight as possible WITHOUT hammering it out TOO far. You will always need body filler to get the last 10% straight,so you will have to leave the surface just short of being bumped out all the way.Use the longest sanding blocks possible to sand the filler and the surfacer after that. If it's too wavey , it maybe wiser to just replace it with one in better starting condition.Not everything SHOULD be repaired! If you are one who just despises the thought of "bondo" then start shopping for straight metal. There are no magic "irons" to re-stamp dented sheet metal. There is nothing wrong with bondo if used properly. Good Luck.
