Oil Pan Straightening- West Coast

[msaggese]

Hi everyone,

My T has been off the road for the better part of 5 years due to a variety of life circumstances (3 moves, illness, etc.)

This project was obviously way more than I bargained for, but I am determined to get it back on the road.
I am in the process of rebuilding the engine, I have the engine out and the oil pan off. The oil pan has a large dent in the very bottom, next to the drain plug. I am concerned about this dent causing alignment issues with the ball cap being right there, and potential for damage to the crank if the rest of the pan is not straight. As I understand it, the condition of the oil pan is critical to the longevity of the engine.

Here's a link to photos of the pan:

Is there anybody on the west coast that either has a good dent-free 4 dip oil pan, or a pan straightening jig who could repair my pan?
I live in SoCal but could travel to help with the repair or pick up a pan.
