Sucks, but a fairly easy fix. Do it yourself if you're not too worried about it being showroom perfect. You could probably get started on the floorboard by standing on it and putting your weight into it.

I've seen far worse. How about backing the camera away so more of the rig is in view?

Fixable. Take the rack off and post more picture, hard to see with it in the way.

I've straightened out a few small things here and there by placing it in a vice. Wouldn't work on a curve, but things that need to be flat sort of self level.

Piece of cake. With a little tapping and bending you'll hardly notice it.

You mean Rustolid (as it would be pronounced in NZ )? Great videos and highly recommended.
