Hi Dan,
The radiator core support is NORMAL.. it should be slanted up at the
top also.
Now I see what you are worried about (passenger frame rail) and I think
you are
probably right, it is bent. I just went out and looked at mine, its on
my lift but the
car is fully assembled and with headers so it is hard to really see..
But both sides
look totally symetrical as far as I can see. If yours got hit hard in
the passenger
side rail, I could see how it could kink right at the bend behind the
crossmember
so it would get more "vertical" like you point out. Try measuring from
rear spring
mount forward to crossmember mount hole on each side, the car may be
"shorter"
on the passenger side...?
Paul Reisentz has a lot of customer cars fixed. He tells me that once
they are on
the frame machine, it only usually only takes an hour to fix things like
that... Now IS
the time to get it fixed! I do now think I remember your car had extra
holes put in
the frame extensions behind the bumper/jack mounts. That would be the
place to
pull it back out I would think. Maybe they actually correctly bent it
back but just
didn't bother to put the bends in just the right places? I am actually
interested in how
yours turns out because my second Tiger was hit in the drivers side (has
new fender,
grill and valence) and I think I may have a similar type residual damage!
In your first pictures, it looked like some damage where the driver side
frame rail
connects with the inner fender.. looked like it may actually be broken
apart and there
is daylight showing under the horn mount, where it shouldn't be! I
would think that
the inner fender provides a lot of the front strength and should be in
good condition.
I remembered your car had some huge ugly flares but they don't look
nearly as bad
(my opinion only) as I remembered. Your car looks so much better than
the rusty ones
that Paul is restoring these days!

<p>All, I've taken some better pictures (still not great but
hope they will do) and put it together in a PPT then to PDF
format. If anyone with detailed experience would care to
review and provide feedback on what I suspect is damage vs.
what might actually be stock factory construction it would be
appreciated. Also note in last e-mail I called out the
drivers side but I mixed with the car sitting on it's side.
The suspect damage is on the passenger side (or top of the
car with it on it's side).</p>

<p>Also on the last page is a picture of the lower radiator
surround. At the passenger side it's only an 1" high and
drivers side its almost 3" (estimates). Is this stock? I
don't see an obvious repair or bend here but seems very
strange that it wouldn't be same height all the way across. </p>
