Re: Bent Frame?
I would at least price a repair at a frame shop. It might not be much dough to pull it out "good enough". Seems like it'd be an hour or less on the rack to get the one frame horn pulled back out.

Re: Bent Frame?
C's and K's have a bit different frame at the front. They can work and many have been converted. But I'm not sure he's up to that right now. If it is out of square (Diamond) it would have to hit the rack and get pulled. Price "shouldn't" be too bad pricewise. It seems that there are 2 intertwined issues on it. The twist and diamond. The twist MAY not be there and all the misalignment may be due to mounts. I would take a measurement of all the body mounts as it sits. This would give an idea of the situation of the body mounts and the twist on frame. Its always better to measure twice and buy once. One other thing. When you go to measure the square on frame. get it on as level ground as possible. Use a level or an angle app on your "smartphone" and remember the angles of the ground. then measure the levels on the frame side to side. And compare. I think you will be able to see whats going on with the framw.

Re: Bent Frame?
I tried to talk to a few shops but nobody wanted to get back to me so putting this thing on a rack so that is not going to happen.
I'm going to have to fabricate something but I'm not sure yet what so I can mount any type of bumper to the front of this thing. |
