the fender has a kink in it at the cowl panel, the fender well is bent at the hood hinge, and where it bolts to the fire wall is pushed in about 1/8 inch.
you can also see the bottom of the bumper is pushed up and the gap to the door gets bigger at the bottom. on the bolt at the bottom rear of the inner fenderwell you can see that the fender well pulled forward and up a little bit.

for now I don't know if all the frame flexed and all the parts stayed bent , or if the rail is bent too.

I am thinking maybe put it on jackstands at the front body mounts and right before the rear kick up, then level it at the cowl, or roof, then measuring down to a level from certain points on the frame rails and see what I get.
