I 're-shaped mine by beating them out from Inside the footwells, only because I needed to cut out above them any way because of rotten footwells, but I suppose you could use a slide Hammer and do it from the outside!

I was hoping to avoid that......

I'm wondering if anyone does repair panels or if I could fabricate a couple somehow, or chop them off another car and weld them on?

Thanks for all the replies!

Looks like I have some options then

I'm liking the idea of chopping them off and re shaping them and welding them back on
