Bare car body shell on red repair rack

Straightening the frame

We had some clues that the car had been jumped at least once in its life and probably more than that.  With the caved in oil pan and the bent in K frame it was obvious it had seen some action and the frame had to be fixed to adjust for that.  Pictures here show the car on the frame rack and measurements we use to verify how much needed to be adjusted.  Once this is complete then we can move on to metal work since the frame really needs to be taken care of before any sheetmetal is fixed and replaced for good fitment between doors, fenders, hood, etc.
