I took a 12" chisel and wedged it behind the panel and lightly pecked a hammer on the end and the slope of the chisel helped push some of mine out.

Heat it up with a hairdryer and then put some dry ice on it. It'll pull that dent right out.

DON'T TAP ON IT!!! You must PUSH it out easily with no area getting more pressure than another. If you tap it you will wind up with a group of high spots(tits) that will require grinding and filling to correct. Pay the dent doctor to remove it if it bothers you that much....

Oh Tinman i really wish i would have gotten your post sooner!! I tried to tap it out and now it's worse than it was before! MUCH WORSE! Does anybody know any good wrecking yards that i might be able to get that piece from?

Thanks in advance
