Some places use a heat-shrink technique to remove such dents after major
hailstorms. They anneal the metal using just the right amount of heat
applied with a torch in the center of the dent, then use a wet rag to
shrink the metal back to shape. You still have to redo the paint, but
I know of valuable cars that were written off in a hailstorm being
repaired quite cheaply using this technique - see if you can find somone
who knows it.
