the end of the p/s frame rail that the bumper bolts into is twisted a little from an accident involving a garbage truck and 4 wheel drum brakes [sm=badidea.gif] [sm=boohoo.gif]. it doesn't seem to be twisted too bad, but i need to know how to go about fixing it? i was thinking a frame shop, but it's the frontmost part of the frame and i'm not sure if they could do anything, plus i wanna know if i can do something myself.

edit my pics didn't load up right, i'm going to try and load them again a little later.

 

I would say that you probably need to go ask the guys at one or more frame shops. I have not seen your problem, but most frame issues I have seen require a frame shop. It is not a something you want to go cheap on, especially with the plans you have.

 

actually, it's not the frame itself, although i am going to be taking it to a frame shop to get a quick once over. it turns out, had i opened my eyes bofore i would have see this, the piece i'm talking about is a banana shaped piece that bolts to the frame to support the center of the bumper. i just need to find out if any junk yards around here have one.

anyone know the cost to use a frame machine? about how much am i looking at needing?
