So, yeah that's kind of strange.
Mine had a similar bend in it.nothing the BFH won't fix.
That framerail bow is different!
I assume the frame is square ??(+- 1/8").
It may interfere with your PS conversion plates(or not?),just something to watch for.
Looking good so far Craig

Haven't measured anything, not too worried about either anomally.

Welcome aboard, yes, we should figure out a show or two, maybe a cruise night or two as well.

Chadwick, be patient Mr.

Thanks Captain, still debating on what to do about power steering
