As I have followed this thread, with some interest, I'm left with two
questions. What is a dolly? Also, is there a best way to heat to "red" - high
flow torch, or low flow?

Listers,
I guess not to surprisingly I had a HUGE response to my request for info. I
really do appreciate that.
After reading all the responses and stewing on it overnight I elected to use
the "heat to red and then beat with a dolly technique". Worked like a
champ. I suppose a real pro would be able to tell where I did the
straightening but to my untrained eye it looks pretty good. Add to that the
fact that its mostly covered by the lower valance and I'm satisfied with the
result.
Again, thanks to all who responded.
