Default Hood Deformed after Bumpstops set to high

Been trying to fix my deformed Firehawk hood after the previous owner set the bumpstops to high. The hood now sits 1/2" high on each side near the headlights/fender.

Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks

Leave it in the sun with a little soft ballast on each corner?

I agree Whistler. This happened from pressure pushing up.... so put some pressure on it pushing down and it should have the opposite effect.

If you know someone with a paint booth, cook it. Set it on a stand, really shouldn't need weight on it either. Let it get HOT and it will probably settle into place.
