If you don't have luck elsewhere a good auto body tech or metal fabricator could probably help you if you brought them the bent pieces but it's doubtful you'll find one who'd be willing to do the disassembly/reassembly.
Hope you get it repaired correctly. Those things are awesome!

I would want to have someone examine it closely to be sure nothing "vital" got damaged, like a board cracked, screws pulled loose, etc. If it's not bent up very bad, just enjoy the music. The cost of disassembly, replacement of metal (or straightening it) could exceed it's value. If you ever want to have it restored (caps, glue removal, etc), that would be the time to address any bent metal since it would be disassembled anyways and wouldn't add a whole lot more to the cost.

This really is unfortunate but all too common. People simply have no idea how to pack such an item for safe transit.
That's very unfortunate, those beasts are wonderful amps. I know a store on Dunedin, and sadly I'm very far away to help you. The good thing is that those amps are like tanks, and well worth fixing. Post some pictures maybe I can give you some pointers.

If, anyone can do it QRXRestore can.
The roundtrip shipping is expensive, but I recently sent them my AU-7700 for their complete works.
You might have to part it out, but I believe they will be candid with you.
Unthinkable.There must be a better way.
