        As work progresses in a new shop, we’ve discovered that the front 
end of my 100 was damaged much worse than we thought (now I know why the 
car had no front splash pan!)  And I probably made matters worse by selling 
the original grille—but it was minus a couple of teeth, so undoubtedly 
bent—and keeping a flea-market replacement.
        The replacement is also bent—not realized when I bought it.  The 
front of the shroud was pushed in at the right front—maybe from accident, 
maybe from being moved around in the prior shop for years—and we need a 
properly shaped grille to shape the nose to (how I wish Moss had the repair 
panel for that!)
        Photos of the grill are attached.  In particular, is the top of the 
grille supposed to be one continuous forward curve from side to side, or 
does it curve toward the rear at the top center?  With the slats removed 
there should be no problem straightening it—but to what shape?
 
Thanks in advance,
