Maybe this can give you some place to start, best to ask someone that works on sheet metal.

radrush it could just be me but I never got smart out of the sears web-site; But then again I am still learning how to use a smart type phone...
yup, it's for replacing a door skin(outer panel) on the old shell(inner panel).
bending the lip w/ a hammer & dolly to the shell.
borrowd this pic from the eastwood site.
some guys still do this, but there are pneumatic tools now that do it a little faster.

And lemme tell you, when you use that motherfauker plus hold a dolly on the other side to hold everything up to the frame plus keep the skin from doing something stupid.... You will have Popeye arms! Jeez I hate putting on door skins. I tried a skin zipper and had to do quite a bit of fillerwork so I was out on using that thing.
I got tired of the "Popeye" thing really fast too and modified one of these with wooden jaws...much easier.

From about 12 minutes on.
I try to do a little at a time and it helps if you can do much of the pre-bending ahead of installing, and then slip your repair piece in place....but not always possible.
