Message	If the car was in an accident, and the frame is bent, you may want to just buy the adj suspension pieces and try that first. Once you start paying a shop to pull the frame, it get's expensive real quick - and, these cars are not easy to straighten (especially if it's in the rails), there's lots of overlapping steel that make it hard to ever bring back. Depending on how bad it is, could make more sense to shop for a clean shell. 93 2+2 Twin Turbo Track Build - jsworks.org for more info!
