Don,  I have personal experience with an outfit called DentTeam USA.
They're a mobile outfit that come to your place and have techniques to
massage most dents out.  Don't know if they're up in IL.

Why did I need this do you ask?  We have been known to get hail down here in
South Florida.   One afternoon the sky just opened up and these olive sized
hail granules came pouring down.  When it was over we had over 4 inches of
ice backed up in the gutters, and it was still almost 80 degrees outside!!!
Freakiest thing I've ever seen weather-wise down here.  That particular day,
my leased 2000 LS8 was sitting outside and got pummeled, though I'm sure not
as bad as your SHO.  Since the car wasn't mine and I had no intention of
keeping it, I used that company to work out most of the dents and then game
the car back when it was time.  Really couldn't tell there was any damage.
I would use this on my personal cars if I needed to.

Carl P.
