Rolling "The Mother of all Tube Dents"

Rolled "The Mother of all Dents" out of the downtube on my Big Trash Austro-Daimler yesterday.
Big, flat and ugly; it was bad enough where the previous owner put the bike, less wheels, out for pickup.
Interestingly, with a BIG dent in the downtube and a pretty impressive handlebar dent on the other side of the top tube, the frame still measures true.

I always wanted an Inter-10, and hid the frame thinking I would get a couple Bicycle Research blocks some day. Got them and had time to play with the big dent yesterday. Looks good.

Going to work out the top tube dent in the coming week. Big dent's ready for some filler.
Anybody have hints to share?
