Default Can any "body" guys tell me how to approach repairing this damage? (PIC)

Viper vs. Me =



Normally I might leave it alone, but the door jam is bent just enough to prevent the door from closing easily. I need to pull out the body panel enough to get it relatively straight and get the door to open and close smoothly. It doesn't have to be pretty so I'll see if I can do it myself. I just need some info on a technique to pull out body panels like this. Anyone do this sort of work? Thanks for any info.

get a rubber mallet or a rubber dead blow hammer, and beat the **** out of it, try to get at it from the inside and beat it on the inside and then beat it inside the door frame

No, it was on Saturday. I didn't end up racing on Sunday because I wasn't sure if I had any suspension damage and didn't want to risk it.

get those toggle anchors for drywall, the ones that are hinged, and drill holes in the lowest spots, and put those in and tighten em up and pull it out, then weld up the holes, skim layer the panel, and youre good to go
