I think this should be the perfect tool to fix my bent frame. I only have to streach it about 3/8 inch.

look at the bend at the lower radius in the first pic & then look at the second pic, you can see where the frame bent.
Check between the subframe mounting bolt and the motor mount.
Check out the instructions for the "Dozer"
 
FRAME STRAIGHTENER

Front frame pulling A unibody framehorns is not an shop class endeavor. Keep in mind you are dealing with a 45 year old patient. You don't look for bargins in frame repair or parashutes!
 
Tuggin' and Yankin'

There's a couple of trusted frame guys in our area who seem to gather the business from quite a radius through New England. Watching my favorite guy tug & push on what seems to be unrelated areas in a uni-body is an education in physics fer sure. Things move and align (hopefully) sometimes a good distance from where the tool mounts are centered. There's a lot more to it than just owning the gear . . . . . . . .

checking the frame rails was one of the first things the shop did to my series 4. he removed the hinge panel, the nose section and the valance. he drilled out the spot welds holding the fenders to the inner fender.this way the entire front was separated from the frame rails. then came a lot of pulling and measuring. it's not an easy ordeal since one pull may create another problem somewhere else. many hours were involved in getting it right and everything lining up so the fenders,etc could be be reattached. the main reson for doing this was not due to rail damage but to open up the body gaps. he will tell you that he stretched the body.
