And I did kiss that oil pan once too That's why the new Charlies pan is a little shallower. Hasn't any tried this and have it work?

I have some Headman fenderwells you could try but I'd have to And the price for new ones is

Heated them up with a "rosebud" tip on the torch, heating all 4 pipes at the existing bends and pulled over with a come-along and strap. Took the pressure off after they cooled. Put pressure on them gently and get them glowing. Seems to me you will have to push -up and push or pull to the rear to get them up that much or you'll still have a low spot. Good Luck.
