Not that concerned about the condition based upon the picture. It was just a question. It can always be straightened if bent and it is going to be blasted and painted anyway. My concern is in taking that approach (guessing $3,000 - - $5,000) and it does not correct the problem; already have $75,000, real number, into the project and that doesn't count the cost of the car and what I have done to it since 1989. Therefore and after seeking the advice of a number of individuals, I am considering and trying other alternatives first rather than doing a complete changeover of a radiator support, sand blasting, painting dismantling, new aluminum radiator, serpentine belt, power steering pump, reassembling not to to mention creating additional problems, etc. In the end, I may have to go this route anyway but hopefully I can rectify the situation before that in which case we will be in touch if still available.
