Straightening bent “C” section of Frame
So back before I knew any better, when I first got my GTO some 30 years ago I jacked it up on the “C” section on the side of the frame and bent it upwards.
Any suggestions as to what tool can I use to bend this back into place? Ron |

You can try two pieces of flat bar stock (3/8" or thicker) and some C clamps. I have straightened many channel flanges using those tools.

I used a piece of 1/2" flat steel clamped over the bent section(s) and then I used a large crescent wrench and a large pipe wrench to bend the frame back in position. Slid the flat steel up and down until the bends were all
worked out. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
