Probably not. By shaved the sides do you mean the door handles or the side moldings?

The only way you are getting the doors back to normal is buying new doors.

If he just shaved them with body filler(bondo), You can have it ground out, sanded, primed and painted. If there welded, you'll need new door skins. Basically it's not worth it.

I worked in a high traffic bodyshop for 7 years.. If they are just filled with bondo, just like sc4dr said they can grind it out and fix it.. But.. for as cheap as EG doors sell for.. Just buy used doors.
