Always a few problems on bending frames back.

1) it's never exactly where it was nor can you make it exact just close.

2) the piece that bent will rust about 10x to 25x faster then the rest of the frame because it was bent without the steel being molten.

3) you lost alot of strength in that bent area and if that front took another hit it would bend 4x worse


Could it be bent back to close probably. However, for strength and safety . It would be best to cut the bent section off and weld non bent front section back on with the plates welded in the inside and the seam welded. By doing it this way it be stronger them OEM factory.

Depending on how much damage is done on the radiator support Amand the body supports bent on the frame. If any kinks are in the inner fenders. Probably be best to take the body panels back to beginning of the front clip. Replace it all if they are bent. So hood all lines up and the fenders line up being straight with the radiator support.

This is why I say. It's an expensive fix to do it for the most strength and everything perfectly straight.

Bending it back or doing nothing much is the cheapest way to get it close or good enough.

I dont know if a bent frame will pass inspection in PA. As a guess I would say no way. As it effects the intrigity of the frame structure.


Time will tell how this will play out.
