Bodywork on potential jack pints

Not sure where best to put this question.

I intend to make the bottom of my project (65 Mustang Fastback) as nice as the top. The front frame rails have been replaced, so they are nice and un dented.

The back ones were pretty banged up. I cut access holes from inside the car to bang the dents out as best as I could, but I couldn't get them completely smooth. Is there anything I can use on these to really smooth them out and finish them off?

obviously it won't be any good if the car gets put on a lift and whatever I put on there crushes or cracks.

Also note the rust found in between the two layers covering the frame rail when cutting the access holes, the fun never stops, lol.

Cut a larger access hole in the floorpan and work the metal out, on the stretched areas you can heat it to a dull red and make it the proper shape with ease with the right shaped blocks and hammers and spoons. If anyone slides a floorjack under that area again punch them straight in the nose as hard as you can.
