Damaged upper radiator support
I am wondering how to go about straightening my upper radiator support. From what I can tell it can't be hammered out, which the last owner already tried to do, because of the construction. I am posting a picture to show the damage, which isn't too bad I just want it straight. Thanks in advance.

Take the car to either a body shop or frame shop they should be able to help you out and get it pretty straight

It needs to be either pulled back in place, or new piece installed.

You're not going to fix it beating it with a hammer.

I was thinking of heating the support and taking a solid straight bar and screwing through the bar into the support and pulling the support towards the bar then welding the holes shut. My only idea I can think of
