if the frame is bent it may be easier to buy a junkyard one, to put a car on a rack is about $500,if the damage is at or behind suspension it has to go on a rack to be safe, if not it's cosmetic, and a come along can work (did that with my '87 when the front was damaged) keep in mind an f body frame is only a couplke feet long. If the damage is in the body portion (like floor or firewall) then it has to go on a rack.you can email me the pics and I can tell you what would be best shayes3966@comcast.net
