Angry Frame help 1969 C body

So while under the Polara last night I noticed that the frame under the driver side is a little warped looking. The last six inches or so before the frame ends, its not bent outwards or inwards at all, just looks like the car was dropped on a rock or something, best way I can explain it. Its not very severe but I am planning on high hp numbers...is this something I need to be worried about? I know frames need to be straight and everything but it doesnt look like its location is very load bearing or would make the car drive sideways down the road or anything. Ill try to get pics up today but any thoughts may help ease the pain of what may be coming.
Thanks.

Actually it's still hard to see, though it looks a little squashed in the last pic. If it's straight and not rusted I would use it. How does the car sit? That's a sub frame by the way. I guess you know that though. Just mentioned it cause a lot of folks don't know c-bodies are unit body.

Should not be a problem unless there is rust damage.

Looks like someone got carried away with a floor jack. Won't hurt anything
