They might, but it's really hard to straighten a lot of
pieces that are connected. Whenever metal is bent, is it
also stretched, so when you try to put it back you have
too much metal.
What I would do is cut all the seams, and straighten the
surfaces individually, then reweld them all up. It's likely
the only way you can get them all where you want them.

Just because it's rare doesn't mean anybody wants it.
