Welcome! Nice to see someone rescuing a SS from the scrap pile.

I would check the subframe welds for brakes/cracks and make sure it wasn't bent also. Going from memory the fuse box shouldn't be angled the way it is, did the crash affect the lower unibody (under the intake/ecu/fuse box area)? I would see that as being very difficult to correct/fix as it's part of the crumble zone.

I have the GM 2006 factory manuals that you can have for the cost of shipping.

That might be an issue? Because I know the upper radiator support can be replaced, but my worries is probably what you said, it is a lil bent in that area. I assume maybe pulling that area where the plate is once the upper tie bar has been replaced maybe I can get that straightened out. Hopefully
