I hate to break it to you but the frame head on your pan appears to be bent. I could just be the pics playing tricks with the eyes. If it is bent, it can be fixed. You will need to find someone with some good welding skills that has tackled one of these before. You will definitely want to have it fixed before you paint the pan or put it back together...Hopefully it's not bent and you will be good to go...-Russ
