Can you still bolt your radiator to it?

Obviously, it'll need to be replaced or straightened at some point, but if I were you and could still bolt your radiator to it, I'd run it as is in the mean time. Mine was a little bent from a bit of an accident with an engine picker and the garage door at my parents' house, but that didn't keep me from running the car. I've since straightened it, but it wasn't really that bent to begin with.

 

It depends on how bent it is and if it will allow the radiator to fall into the fan. The radiator support is kinda flimsy to start with and the radiator does provide some rigidity.

I ran for years with a bent support. I have just replaced it because over the years the battery acid had eaten through it, the fender apron, the frame rail and the cross member below the radiator support. Man it feel good to have new metal on my old baby. Up next for me is front frame rails, torque boxes and full floor pans. There goes my car slush fund!
