What should I do?

Front crossmember under the fan shroud is bent forward on the passenger side and the bottom rivet is busted. Could I drill out the rivet, pound it back and bolt it?

Re: What should I do?

Mine was bent and made the frame loose so I got one off of another frame, popped out the rivets and bolted the new one in. (If it is the crossmember I think you are talking about.)

ALL of my crossmembers were moved forward 1-1/2 inches and rivets were replaced with grade 8 bolts. I don't figure that could be a problem.
