Wherever you have a dent, you have stretched steel. Banging on it with a hammer is just going to redistribute the same stretched material...in other words, you're not gaining any ground. You need to get a shrinking hammer to flatten it back out again.

Google is your friend....and so is E-bay. ;) Use them both...you can find absolutely anything you need or want....and of course, a lot you don't.
