Hey Mick, I caught on to your logic. Can you elaborate in more detail. So I cut out the stretched top and side section but not the bottom? Then stretch back these points. The thing I don't understand is if it stretches back longer won't it be incorrectly aligned when I weld back on?

My chassis seems to have had a front impact that has bent the chassis as noted in attached photos. What would be the best way to fix this as am concerned that it will cause alignment problems.
