it's not that bad if your drove it home it can be fix...there is not much of a frame in 'stang so you will need to go to a place with a frame machine...they very from 35hr to 75 hr...the dealer is not as option if you want to keep cost don't with out looking at it it could go from 3-8 hrs so you can do the math...you can call around and get shop rates per hour narrow it down the 3-4 and get an est.

my mom bent the frame of her car once and kept it. it was major sh*tty afterwards. it depends on how bad it is. it might be worth taking out all the mods, engine, etc. and putting them into an identical chassis with a bad engine er somethin and junkin the rest.

Usually if you have a bent frame your car is done, especially on a unibody like the foxes. It would most likely be more cost-effective to just buy another beater with a good chassis like mkspeed said and transfer all your stuff over. Frame work is very expensive and you better make damn sure whoever does it is an expert, because if it's done wrong and the frame is under stress, sooner or later it will relieve itself somewhere in the frame and could cause you a world of hurt.
