71 Twister with 340 4-spd, Bent front frame rails

I agree....I would seek a second opinion. the front rails are NOT perfectly straight brand new.

plus...it would be easier (my opinion) to staighten frame rails than remove / replace. I spent a whole day lining up panels....it is not a simple task...especially for frame guys.

IF the frame rails were bent....you should be able to see sheet metal bent....do you see any deflection on the inner fender panels. Is there signs of collision damage?

good luck.

He's already mentioned that quite a few parts in the front end of his car don't line up properly. And from the picture he posted, it appears as if the rail is not only bent, but that someone tried to repair it previously.

I do this for a living. Put it on a rack and be done with it the same day.

Wow! So in a day you're going to pull the frame straight on the rack and replace all the damaged metal in the frame?
