I bought this parts beetle so I can cut out the passanger front quarter panel for my 65 beetle. Unfortunately, the parts beetle quarter panel needs a little work before I cut it out. You can see where it has been pushed in.
How Should I go about removing the damage? I want to pull the bottom out where the yellow arrow is. However, I'm unsure how I should go about remove the flat area just above the fender mounting surface. Thanks in advanced.

Big hammer and a little hammer 
The bottom, get a little sledge and beat it straight. That arch should tap out nice with a hammer and dolly.

Thank you. I got the top section out fairly easily with a dolly. It has high and low spots now so I guess I'll just have to spent more time on it. Maybe shrink the metal a little and spray some dye-con
