Default Need help on fixing this dent.

So I received this dent when I accidently hit a low curb. I would like to know how to approach this dent without cutting and welding. I was thinking of using a slide hammer, weld up the tiny holes, bondo and lastly primer. What other methods are there that I'd be able to use. I would assume its say to say I will need a way to shrink the metal if the slide hammer pulls it out too much. Thanks in advance

If you have access to a fram machine, weld a tab to it and pull it.

Thanks Guys! Any other options, I am not in the budget for a $150 stud gun. I have a cheap 110v Chicago mig welder if thats of any help. Paintless dent removal? LOL

Stud gun is not going to be much good on that dent anyway. You need a frame rack as already stated so you can weld a tab on and make some pulls. Or at least weld a tab on it and use a Morgan Knocker (big *** sllide hammer). I'd replace a section of rocker.
