There were a couple dents in the side of my CB7 and I had an attack at them today.
The method I used is not perfect and doesn't always work, but for the low cost, it's worth a try. All you need for tools is a toilet plunger. I didn't want to use a used one, so I bought a small one for $3.49 at Canadian Tire.
First off, wash your car, but don't dry it, or at least not in the area of the dent. You don't want to scratch your paint and you'll get better suction and lubrication between the car and plunger if the car is wet.
Now, to remove the dent, all you do is apply the plunger to the dent and pull.
You may need to try a couple times, but if you're lucky, you'll hear a sasifying "TUNK" and the panel will pop back out.
Here is how it worked out on my CB7:

You can see that it's not perfect, but it certianly a lot better than it was before. Besides, I needed to buy the plunger anyway to free up a backed up sink.
