Ok I took the car over and did not receive good news. He said the car appears to have been hit pretty hard on the front driver side and there is a patch welded in the frame. The front he said is close but the back patk is off by 3/4 of an inch. He called it 3/4 inch diamond? He was afraid to try and pull it as the car is done and was worried about damaging something along with body lines. He gave me a number to his cousin who owns a frame shop and has much more experience dealing with older cars.

He mentioned that his cousin might be able to loosen the body bolts or remove them and maybe lift the car slightly then straighten the frame and set the body back down. Anyone go through this? Any options? Donor frame a better idea but possibly more work?
