Hi Everyone -- Moving onward to the work on the core support. Here is a look at it in the before state...Not the best pictures - but you can see the damage from the hit to the drivers front.
It is a big piece of metal - so it was broken down into pieces to allow straightening. Areas needing fixed were the driver headlight section, a portion of the upright beside the radiator and two holes cut by a PO for aftermarket A/C.
The headlight area was rough...Here is a shot early in the straightening process and one later in the process (although not complete).
More in the following post...
