Frame help!! 63

A month ago I got in an accident in my 63. Just the other day I noticed what looks like a bend in the frame on the front passengers side. Just in front of the motor mount. I'm not sure if this a factory shape or if my frame is actually bent. Do any of your frames have this??

My 63 has the same bend in it. Not really sure for what purpose other than maybe radiator hose clearance or more access to the fuel pump.

Re: Frame help!! 63

It gives you room to remove the filter of the straight six. Factory bend
