Just got my first atc 70 but the front fender rubs the engine?

Just got a 70atc and the back of the front fender rubs the engine when you turn it. There is a hole in the corner also. I've seen a lot of 70's whit that hole there. It dose need steering stem bearings, but does this mean the frame is bent? It has no spark so I could'nt tell ya how it rides yet.

Thanks for the link monroe mike. I tried the block and jack it worked pretty good. I held a straight edge on top of frame and I thought maybe I went too far past the other way but when I released the pressure it is still just a fuzz bent, it has some flex back to it. Should I keep going? Do you have a link for a shop manual? Thanks Again. Mike
