Need to Straighten Frame 1988 GT Convertible

[91Saleen#15]

Picked this puppy up at the salvage auction. It was somebody's pet. It was hit on the right front corner and the frame needs to be pulled. Anybody know what I can expect to pay a shop to put it on their frame rack?

Hard to say without pics. I paid 600 CDN for mine to get it strait. Because the car was bad rebuilt.

I did a lot of job to remove unnecessary parts but i had to be legal on the road so i couldn't remove front bumper and light.

The frame master job was 5 hours at 45$ . So if you can tow it i suggest to do the max you can. It's a long but easy job.

don't forget to tag every parts you'll remove. specially the screws and nuts.

Hope this help

you can drill all the plug welds out and replace the piece thats hit depending where its hit and how bad it is. is the strut tower bent?

[91Saleen#15]

Yeah, the strut tower is bent about 2 inches in. It was hit on the wheel, so nothing is really mangled. Everything is just out of whack by a couple inches. 45 bucks an hour on a frame rack sounds just great. Is that 45 canadian? I might have to consider moving to canada. I don't think anyone around here would do it for 45.

Yes this is 45$ canadian. I know it can be hard to get this price. Here at quebec, there's a lot of frame master shop. Specially in the beauce. They order cars from ontario and US and rebuild them. A lot are not really 5 stars garage but they are artist and they work very well anyway.
