Default How do I get the front quarter panel aligned?

I assume the one owner before me tried to jack the car up at the wrong spot and like so many other camaros, the front quarter panel is uneven with the front bottom side of the door. Problem is I can't figure out how to get it back into place, any suggestions?

Best way to fix that is there are supports on the bottom of the car that connect from the bottom of the car and fender. Its usually bent outwards. u can get a small 2x4 and hammer and put it on the support and hit it striaght down again and it till bring the bottom of the fender back even with the door. Unless the bottom fender is broke where it connects to the support. Fixed both of my fenders this way at a local body shop. Hope this helps.

I'm afraid i'll crack it. I was hoping there was an easier way. Thanks for the input though.
