Cool Dent In Cowl Area

I have a dent in the cowl area of my truck on the drivers side where the "F-150 Custom" is. I'll try to post pics tomorrow, but in the mean time if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to fix this let me know. I would like to stay away from heavy body filler, I know that some will be needed but the dent is pretty deep.

Does anyone make a replacement cowl patch to weld in, or would I need to form my own?

would it be possible to cut a small hole in in with a torch big enough to get a slide hammer attachment through so you could pound it out some? Then just weld the hole back up, smooth off the weld with a grinder/sander and apply some body filler to smooth it all off...
