Watched a few youtube videos on metal shrinking so now Im an expert (not really but sounds good). My foreman let me use the torch as long as I promised not to blow anything up. Good job done there. I pushed on the panel in the low and high spots looking for it to pop back. Then I heated the area almost red about the size of a quarter. Supposed to be dime size as I have read but Im new to this. I think most of the stuff I read about was for older cars which have thicker sheetmetal so I was afraid of burning right through it or warping it even more. Once it was good and hot I used my free hand ( with glove) to cool the area with a wet rag. When I pushed on the spot again it didnt pop in and out.
Next Ill beat on it some more with a hammer and dolly to work out the highs and lows. I expect that might stretch the metal a little once more. If so, Ill go back and shrink it again.
