Default Body Work Question

My radiator support is bent up from my accident a while ago. When my frame gets straightened will it straighten the radiator support or do i have to replace it?

yeah, if the rad support is not straight, your whole front end will look like ***. I know cuz I got my winter beater, and the hood wouldnt' close, there are massive gaps between the headlights and the corner lights... etc. I fixed most of it, but the lines are still messed up pretty bad cuz the rad support is

actually, i compred my support to a new one and only the part that is spot welded to the inner aprons/fenders by one of the fender bolts are bent from those shifting. It will be fine once the frame is straightened.
