Would love to see how people fix their frames, especially the fronts on gms. I see some of these mid 70s buicks running multiple shows with guys using the nose on them like caddies. I barely get a heat outta one.

Now a couple asterisk marks for my setup..that was a solid piece of square stock. I welded a piece of C channel over the dash bar to give it a flat surface to but up against as well. That frame in particular was bent up and in by about 4 inches.

Thats awesome. I have a friend whos really good with porta power too, hes got air over hydraulic so its quick. My manual pump is slow so resetting all the time as the metal springs back a little has caused me to not use it much anymore but after seeing your pics I think Ill get the air pump Ill get back into it.

Ive done it with a porta power for many years. Very useful tool. It's good for building too.

I have to fix the s curve still. It bent in a few inches and up. I pulled it down on trailer. My friends porta power isn’t strong enough. What size porta power is strong enough? I’ll get pics tomorrow.
