No, so it's still easy for me to say I would straighten them out!

I used to make things for my car at my last job. I made a strut tower bar out of SS, made a blow off valve adapter out of mild steel, made an intake filter adapter out of SS, made a boost gauge pod out of SS, all stuff I designed and tig welded.

Tomorrow I think I'll play around with those brackets and see if I can bang on them some with the sledge hammer.
