Needing some tank repair help

[ZE52414]

This is something I'd almost rather send somewhere to have it fixed then do it myself. I work with metal for a living but there's really not a good way inside this tank. Any help advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

The screw in the bottom is holding the horn into place. Guessing it not to be OG.

I know what needs to be done but I don't know the best way. Wish these were 2 seperate:/

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!

Pull those lenses out. Then consider locating a c clamp to bear against deepest section of damage.. I like to work on sheet metal- forming. Shrinking etc. But beating on prewar tanks ain't in my vocabulary. Who could u trust to do something. like that.? Maybe @OC54

how to fix it really depends on how much of that paint you want to save.

Thanks guys. I like the clamping a whole lot better than beating!!!
