Whats the best way to detemine if a frame is straight?
I am looking for a frame, but want to make sure I don't buy one that has not been in an accident or bent. What is the best way to visually determine this? Thanks

I would say to pick several points of similiar locations and do some diagonal measurements. Like the rear of each frame side to a shock mount, engine cradle mounting hole to tranny crossmember mounting holes and so on.
