No, they are done. The metal gets so hot in the fire that the panels are warped to shit, but the heat also makes the metal brittle. It doesn't bend anymore, so getting it into shape is going to be almost impossible. Even if you do get it into shape, the metal will be so brittle it won't be safe to drive.
