Default Big door ding

This happened to me vacationing in Pigeon Forge TN, we took the doors off and put them in the bedroom at the cabin we were staying in well I forgot about one of the straps and the door flew forward ( parking down hill ) and crunch. I worked last night and fixed it my self pretty good, I'll get an updated pic later.

Going to sound crazy, I used a large chisel, stuck it between the frame and metal and started slowly hammering, the slope of the chisel pushed the back side of the dent back out, it is still there a little ,but looks alot better.
