If you cross measure from the corners on each side, you can see what is off and where. Might just be able to pull that side in with a cable come-a-long. I wish I was closer so I could give you a hand.

A step in the right direction

I remember growing up my dad and I had to go to O'Reilly's maybe 5 times to get the radiator we were looking for

Its looking better.

There is only a little bend and should pull out easily. Once you get that, it should start to go together like budda.

We thought about that and if this guy flakes we're gonna do it ourselves. The problem is I still need some one to prep the parts and shoot the paint so if he can do it all for the same price I was quoted for the paint then might as well have it done by a pro. I wish you were closer too Boss, I could use the help!

Well I went to yard this morning expecting have the truck worked on, but the guy flaked out on me at the last minute. Lucky for me my dad hired a guy to work on a Focus that needs a new rear passenger quarter panel. The guy looked at my truck and said he would square it up and weld the core support in next saturday. After that I have no problem putting it back together. Even if I have to start driving it with different color panels.

That is good that the guy your Dad hired will get it squared up so you can finish putting your truck together. Good luck.... take more pics.
