How straight does the rad support have to be so my hood and fenders will line up? Mine is slightly bent on the passanger side( and that is the side i am having issues with)?

Straight enough that the space available from minor slop in the hardware during assembly and use of shims can make up for the bend. I'd try straightening the bent portion of the support if it's more than a minor tweak in the metal.
