Don't know how tightly they're built but if you can separate the body from the chassis (and preferably remove the windshield) you may be able to finesse it a little with a blow dryer. I've not tried to straighten a built and painted body before but for obvious reasons, your choices are limited. Also, by blow dryer I suggest 1500 watt or so HAIR dryer as opposed to a commercial heat gun. Please don't ask me how I Know!!! Anyway good luck and I'm sure there are a few here who will chime in with with probably better options than mine. Let us know how they come out.
