just curious how twisted a frame needs to be to warrant replacement.
Many a 69 frame has been put back in shape on a good frame machine.
Heck Ive used many unorthodox methods to get them straight.
Big trees,chains,come a longs,heavy equipment,if done correctly will suffice.

I wondered the same thing myself but the way this thing drives (I drove it), it's a real mess, almost dangerous. That's why I was questioning what is underneath. While the frame, suspensions & engine are a mess, the body itself is gorgeous.
