That may or may not help. Never tried. If time allows were creases them on the Olds. And bft? Big fn truck?

A bfh and a BFt works well at fixing bent stuff i ran an 80s gm after the humps blew this summer, i got the back started with a jack then took a comealong to the cage and to the rear and cranked up on it until it was high enough then it packed in pretty decent... the fronts on these cars are hard but i dont think they are worth building for anything but a wire class unless its a buick or caddy

I have put a chain hook right in that pocket used for tow chains, hooked it to a tree about 7 feet up and just driven off. Looks really stupid, but it works. It not only pulls the hump back out, but it will also pull it upwards. Only downside to this is that it will rip the bottom of the frame rail a few inches, but once your humps are gone, the rear of your car isn't what you want to be using anyway, so in my opinion, the small tear is not a huge deal.

i ran an 84 olds and the a$$ end got started up the first year as the front got demolished due to one hell of a bubble and a low bumber :/ any ways there was a little mushroom comin out of one side of my hump so i beat it in and creased both humps. took 2 hits to a well built wagon and my passanger side no longer had a hump just a _i_ lol. any advice for the future other than not goin full bore all the time?
