Have a bent frame. Looking for knowledge on the subject.

Just cross measuring will not tell the whole story. The length and height can effect a cross measurement. The car is 3 dimensional. If the length is correct and the width from centerline of the car is correct and the height is correct then there is no reason to cross measure. I have used plum bobs and mapped them out on a level concrete floor. Height is determined with the sheet metal.
