    They have to draw the line somewhere.

    It sucks but at some point the customer has to be responsible for their vehicle.

    If some frame shops won't touch it im sure some performance shops will, we have some very talented shops around the cities.

    Not the only bend I m seeing . Can make out where the first frame shop hooked to it to try to straighten it. Going by direction of pull , she was hit , hard on to right front ?

    All am saying is what I see. We have all bought something and found a defect later. And as far as huck bolts , you want a 5 gal bucket? A good shop can put it back as good as new. They just did not use a good shop the first time.

    Sorry if I find that funny and rather oxymoron all at once.

    Good enough to put it back together just like factory, but not good enough to fix it.

    A GOOD shop can fix it as good as new. The shop they used the first time WAS NOT A GOOD SHOP. One of the first two owners tried to repair it (half way) . McDonald's can say angus all they want but you will not get a good steak there. A cheaper shop was used and less quality was turned out.
