body work question rear valence, can I fix this? Progress with boring pics Options

[theleschyouknow]

I've had my car for about two years first year -what I call the year of living dangerously
I drove it whenever the weather allowed including a 914 weekend in the talimena hills
after a brokenclutch cable clevis it's been wheels in the air for close to a year I've been cleaning the engine and trans and suspension arms and cv's/axles and shocks & springs and engine tin I can reach of 40+ years of grease and dirt -a bunch of it likely from the leaking cv's which I'm sure I'll ask about soon in another thread
so here's my question for this thread:
my rear valence has one 'big' dent in it and couple small wrinkles in the bottom 1/4" or so 'return' flange that defines the bottom edge
pics following

having never done any kind of body work before this seems fairly straight forward to repair
what are the minimal tools required?
what kind of results could reasonably be expected?
could I (easily)screw it up beyond repair?

thanks for any comments or suggestions

and below is shot of one of the vertical brackets that I've already done some work on but you can still see the bracket doesn't appear to sit true to the line of the valance



let me know what ya think I smacked on it a bit more tonight but just a half hour of work right after the sun went below the trees left me wringing wet -we're supposed to get some temperature relief on the weekend but supposed to be accompanied by rain as well

I like seeing these pics myself, I can see some issues in the pics that are harder to notice staring right at the actual piece
