It cost me $1600 about 12 years ago, including a new radiator support and battery tray, to get my 66 straight. The frame shop pulled my left side out 3/4 inch and the right side, the one that got hit, out 1/2 inch. I don't know the why, just the fix. This was done in San Jose, not known for cheap labor rates so do a 'guesstimate' on what I had done, where and how long ago to what you thing you need. I supplied the body parts.

My brother had to pay $500 last year to have his straightened. It did not require any new body parts but the car didn't quite track right and the tires wore prematurely (even with front wheel alignment). It was in a wreck several years ago and the people who put on the new front clip didn't properly align the 'frame'. It doesn't sound like it was as bad as Jim's as they had the whole thing done in a day.
