Like David (Blue62) said, shrinking is not the solution. You aren't going to achieve anything just shrinking it. You need to hammer and dolly it out, as you do you may need to spot shrink in places to bring down highs, but heat and shrinking alone won't solve anything. Only make it worse. The majority of the metal in the affected area is displaced not stretched. You need to move the displaced metal back. (hammer and dolly) Shrinking is only used when you have too much metal in a spot (stretched). Oversimplification but I hope you get the point we are making.
