Very pretty and look to be in VGC. They're going to look awesome all set up.

I am partial to red sparkle wraps though, as my kit is the same wrap, although nowhere near a Ludwig...

Unfortunately I don't, and my metalworking skills are not good anyway (sigh). Is the metal really that soft?

All you need is a fulcrum and mechanical advantage. If you could hold them in a vise (or preferably between 2 points held in a vise), and slip a round tube over the end of the leg with the leg slid between the 2 points where the bend starts, and then you merely "push" on the tube slid over the leg to open the bend.

Looks to be a big beat kit very nice,

Thank you! It was advertised as a Hollywood, but it didn't include hardware. My high school/college set was a Big Beat, so I'm going to set up this one as a Big Beat also... although some of the Ludwig hardware might be current model instead :) .
