The grandkids jumped on the hood and roof of my 1948 Studebaker. I popped out the dents with my hand (ouch). What is the best method to "iron-out" the creases ?

Use the grandkids butts to beat them back out....
Creases are not fun. To remove them completely your looking at a slapper paddle, dolly work and repaint.
ROTFLMAO! The perfect tool, and the perfect application
I think it's time for some grandkids to learn some basic bodywork skills... but seriously I don't know the answer to your question but if I were doing it myself I'd probably just use a hammer and dolly. Shrinking out creases from old dents is difficult, anyway, and I think you're probably looking at a repaint.

(kind of partial to Studebakers...)
I'd put a crease in the grandkids pants!

Hey Harry, you got any grands? I'm afraid I don't look at mine quite as I did my children. Maybe I should, tho', to try & avoid the spoilin'.:) s
Try Painless(?) dent removal. They're pretty good.
no kids, no grankids, no old lady, no pets, just two cars.

a simple rubber mallet would get the creases out but to be safe use a 2x4 cut out with it so it is not to chip the paint good luck...
