Default Pulling Dent from rocker (pic)

My buddies got a 4th gen camaro. He bought it with the dent in rocker panel, previous owner took it over a curb in his driveway.

I used to work as a detailer for a body shop out of high school and remember the techs using stud welder and slide hammer to pull **** like this out. Is there another way we can pull this off without a shelling out over $200 for a stud gun?

if you have a welder you could weld some studs on and use a slide hammer.

As said above studs, or weld a metal tab following the deepest part of the crease, both of which will need a slide hammer to pull the dent out. Then there's the less preferred old school way with screws which leave holes to deal with.
