I've traded emails with Erik but he is 6 hours away, Katzorke is even further. Erik thought there was someone in S. CA who could do the straightening ergo the posting. However, I do thank those who took the time to respond as it is greatly appreciated.
After 25 years of running my T a lot, I'm having new Babbitt poured and a new crankshaft installed. Knowing I have hit lots of pot holes in the road, pan straightening is on my list of things to do. Now it is just looking to find someone reasonably close.

6 hours is not far. Load up the car and take a road trip. Make a day of it and enjoy the sights along the way. Sometimes it is good to get away from home for a day and meet new people, see his shop and how the job is done. You might even have fun…

What Jim said.
I treasure my visits to Mike Bender's shop in Tulsa, participating in work days and other opportunities to see how more experienced folks approach their work.
