67 dart convertible trunk torsion spring length?

I'll admit I don't know everything. Hell I don't remember most of what I once knew.
So lets ask the metal workers what is the best plan. Do we cut and weld or do we heat to cherry red and water quench in steps to unbend and re bend to the shape we need?
That shortest end length at the square bends is about 2 inches so that would be the waste removed after all else is done.
Of course the clocking of the spring is to be maintained no matter which "method to the madness".
