Lower core support

[Cbridgewater]

My lower core support for my 72 challenger is going to need some straightening. See photo. Can anyone provide a photo of how it is supposed to look on the engine bay side?

Nobody can help?

I would if I could, but my rad is installed right now. Try looking at some of the resto threads, there's bound to be some engine bay pics that show that area?

it should be straight.

Just saw this, I will snap a picture of my 73 this evening after work for you.

They are always bent by guys thinking it's a good jack point.

On mine, I removed the radiator and got in there with a hammer and dolly. You can make it nice and flat in 10 minutes. Once the radiator is hanging back in, there should be around 1/2" gap underneath or so.

If it's really bad and you don't object to a non stock look, consider the one from US Car Tools. Inexpensive and the metal is twice as thick. It welds in place in minutes once the old one is cut out. I put one in on another project of mine and it was a nice upgrade.

I was really thinking about the US car tools ones. That may be the route I end up going
