so i got the bottom portion as straight as i can get it. however the metal was so crumpled that i cant get it back to the original hieght of the radiator/condensor mount. its like .5 of an inch off.

but i got it pretty damn good. in the future ill just cut it off and fab my own mount/cross frame that will also create the radiator slightly tilted up, just like the FC or Miata design.
