How do you straighten a k-frame off the car? Is it worth it?

Part of the trick (in my mind) is figuring out what is bent. It could have one leg bent up or down and the other 3 are fine. Or the whole think could be twisted. Both of those scenarios would give the same results as what I have already done.

Thought maybe the motor mounts could be used to figure out a plane and then measure from that plane. But not sure the motor mounts are even supposed to be in a plane that is parallel to the frame horns.

I found posts by @Jim Lusk where he straightened some, but not sure how other that at least once he cut the thing apart.

The one I took apart was twisted and bent pretty bad. Short of heating it all up with oxy/acetylene and then bolting it down that was all I could do with that one. BUT, if one hole doesn't line up I will bolt the other three holes to my jig and use the porta-power to get it into alignment. Then it should hold that shape after I weld up the seams. A little twist is less worrisome because it WILL come into shape when bolted to the frame.
