Let me see what I can do. I'm almost done with it and didn't expect anyone to have a interest in the repair of it so I didn't take many photos. I will try too on my next one.

Major repairs and especially frame straightening is something many of us hobbyists find extremely interesting.
I wouldn't even touch a car damaged like the one in your photo. :worthy:

If you spent a little time on a frame machine, cutting apart, and repairing late model cars, you would not find it daunting, just work. Compared to restorations where over 50% of the car often needs replacement with ill fitting reproduction panels that require modifications to meet show or even driver standards, collision work is not that bad. It's easier to buy two new cars from salvage, do a little yanking and make one car from two, than deal with completely rebuilding a classic.

Agree with Scott.

What happened there, Mike? Did you try to pull it out and then decide that cut and shut was easier?
