Bumping out the major dents, hammer and dolly and then using the Shrinking Disc worked great for me. Took some time but very little body filler.

lead
do not use lead
and if you do hammer and dolly the panel out, make sure the smallest of holes is welded up, do not cover any hole up with any type of fiberglass bondo or whatever, it will bubble, on top of that 1,000s of 67-68s have 1/4s on them and it is not that big of an isue, just gotta triple check before welding it up, there is just way to good of a chance of the repair coming back out in time
i would not worry about bondo cracking after shirnkage, the new bondos are way better then in the 70's and 80's, you will not have issues with cracking unles there is 3/8 of an inch on a panel and someone bumps into it, goodluck, i would 80% it, but you could buy a 80& and cut only what you need for the back off it, then flange the original, and the patch and weld it up.
