    I could use a little help here if someone would be nice enough to take a photo of the underside of 88TR up near front valence. I have found a few photos but can see what i'm looking for. I took off the bumper and valence/shroud to repair and paint and once I got everything apart I noticed that the sheet metal pan is bent pretty good on one side, somewhat in the middle and not too much on the other side. There were new holes drilled so the previous "hack" mechanic could align the valence without fixing the bent sheet metal.

    My problem is that I know there is some intentional design bend in the sheet metal, but I don't know how much and which way the intended bending should be, so some pictures would really help me straighten out the sheet metal correctly before I start at it.

    Kind regards :)

    I have attached a few pictures. As you can see the pan is bent up but without a picture of a "normal" underside I can't be sure what feature to leave bent in and what to flatten down. I plan to remove rivits and take out pan to straighten and I assume that there is an intentional bend before it enters the shroud/valance? Just not sure what it should look like.

    Thanks

    This is helpful as I can see the intended bend, still not sure if the bend goes up to the shroud or down. This along with a side view I think I will be able to get it close.

    Thanks,

    Based on that picture, I marked the picture with yellow for the bend that I will try to preserve and shape to match original shape, and Red in areas that need to be straightened out. Looks like I have a large bend (marked in red) that should not be there. Thoughts?
