Fix door or get a new one?

The right door on my '66 was hit long ago where it meets the fender, at the bottom. It was pushed in about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. A previous owner built it back up with bondo so it would be flush with the fender, which was also bondo'd. For my restoration I've removed the bondo and would like to pull it out to make a proper repair.

But how do you pull it back out? Since the outer door skin is welded to the inner, it seems like it would be hard to pull both the inner and outer door out together. What's the trick? If I could find a used door in good shape that would be easiest, I suspect. But they're hard to find.

I'd post pics, but my phone no longer emails pics.
