Help with pillar dent removal HELP!

ok my camaro was in the garage when a portable camping oven fell and banged right on the edge of the passanger side pillare behind the ttops. its a good sized roundish dent with 2 crinckles, i was advised by my neighbor (drag racer/knows everything about a car that you could want to know) anyhow he said to remove the panels behind the dent and try tapping it out which he would help me with. so how should i try to remove the panels? the dent is right where the panel over the speaker panel is. so how do i remove them? thanks.

Re: Help with pillar dent removal HELP!

If the body is in any decent shape at all, I would have it looked at by a PDR person. The metal on these cars is thin enough that the wrong amount of pressure WILL damage the panel and require body work. If the paint is good and the dent looks workable, let a pro do it. It won't cost as much as fixing it incorrectly and requiring body work and repaint.
