Anyone know if that would be a good idea or bad idea, or what i should do to get that bent back. i could take some better pictures later, my first post was from my cell phone right after it happened.
Yea, I'm not too sure about the torch idea. The metal behind there is pretty thick and covers a fairly large area so I don't know if you'd be able to uniformly heat it all and bend it back into shape the way you're thinking.
