Bent Passenger Side Floor Plan

[Leucadian]

A few weeks ago I noticed there was a slight bow in the passenger side floor pan.  After crawling under the car it looks like there is about a 2"-3" lift on the underside, just to the left of the frame rail.  I don't know how or when it happened but my thought is that at some point, either myself or one of the shops I've brought the car to, incorrectly placed a jack/jack stand at that location.

 

Either way, the pan itself is in good shape, and there isn't any rust to speak of.  Would It be safe to take a 2x4 and a hammer and coax the floor pan back down level?  Otherwise, I'd rather just live with it as is then have to replace the floor pan entirely.

Why bother? Half the old Porsches in the world have the same issue. Doesn't hurt anything being there.

Yes you can just hammer it back to as close as possible to original the metal is nice and soft and malleable. If you don't get it all back as was no big deal.

I noticed a dent in my floor when removing the tar boards.   I placed a piece of 2x4 on end and gave it a few blows to  push the dent down.

Thanks all - looks like I've got some hammering in my future.
