Bodyman help: back cab edge

Can someone with experience give me tips on how to go about repairing this?

Problem: Metal recycling crane magnet hit the cab

I can finish the repair, I just need to know how best to pull the metal back.

Tools I think I need that I have in my possession:

- Stud gun and slide hammer
- Shrinking disk
- Basic hammer/dolly kit
- Oxy-Acetylene torch
- MIG welder



Thanks.

My hat's off to you guys - I hate doing bodywork.

Re: Bodyman help: back cab edge

This would be better asked in paint and body section..
That's where MP&C and the astronaut hang out
They're very good at stuff like this..

What I would do..use your stud puller on the roof section
And slowly pull up on the caved in section (blue)
while bumping in the pooched out back of cab (red)
It being on a body crease is gonna make it hard to recover from..
