headlight trim straightening
anyone know of a place that could take a couple of imperfections out of my headlight stainless trim around the headlight it's in pretty good shape except for a couple of bends. I don't want to just start banging on it and make it worse.

I regret that the tool, although weathered, is not of appropriate vintage.
The bezel pictured is for John Brown Motolamp, ca '30-'32, Henderson probably.

PS: Wouldn't birdshot be more appropriate?........... .. ....

Thanks Robbie!
