Another alternative might be to have a good body/frame man check it out and see if it could be "pulled-pushed" back into place on a frame machine. Remember, though, that once the metal is bent, it weakens it to bend it back. If the car is Primo in every other way, the best fix is find a straight parts car, pull the engine and subframe (crossmember)and suspension, cut out the bad, weld in the new. Properly done, would not be cheap, but I think as good as new. I have one I drive everyday that was done this way, and it's fine.

Out of other ideas..
Tom
