Question for those with a 46/47

I pulled the nose off my pickup to work on grill pieces.
discovered the front valence--behind bumper where the grill assembly attaches
has two creases that don't look like they should be there.
Please have a look at photos and let me know if the top section should be flat---or have these creases. 

Thanks!!!!

  • Can you circle or outline the creases and repost the photos?

    Here is an outline of the crease where the inner grill support structure meets the outer wide grill bar support structure. Wondering if this should be totally flat or bent like it is in the photo. 

  • Should be flat, no crease. The die cast center grill support is long and flat and comes forward from those two mounting holes.
  • Here is a photo of grill.
  • do you still have this car? I'm looking for a photo of the hood hinge for '41-'47
