I've got some more ideas for the gas tank tab on the dented side.

I could cut some sheet steel or aluminum, bend the section close enough to fit, weld/braze it onto the tank, then body filler over it. Just not sure if I'd need to fill the space inside with something or not.

Could also tack weld pullers onto the tank and shape it that way...

Either of these would be a lot easier than stacking nuts or something and trying to fill in around that spot with body filler. And it'd give me a surface to weld or braze the tab onto.
