Get bent

Hey I was in an accident and my drivers side header was bent in towards the center of the car a half inch to an inch, is there anyway to bent it back? I really dont want a new set, also the blow to them stripped the header bolts a millimeter out of the head so ill limp home and raise heads and cam funds or get them helicoiled. argh

Anything is fixable.

Don't know what your finish is on them, but maybe someone could torch them and straighten them out, or just bend them w/o torch, dunno.

Considering how much time and money would be involved in fixing that one header, it would probably be a better idea to simply replace the one that's messed up.
