Chassis accident specialists wanted [pics inside]

Re: Chassis accident specialists wanted [pics insi

Hi Michael,
I am not in the auto body repair trade, but I would say the equipment that you have kindly shown in reply to "bundyrum's" enquiry, is meant for the repair of light gauge sheetmetal, such as the outer body panels.
The pictures in your gallery show a Healey that could become a great car after the repairs are done.
I agree with "Frameman" in as much that replacement of the complete chassis will ensure a straight & true car, that will perform as it was designed to do. When I suggested replacement of the front of the chassis only, I was assuming that a competent person would perform the repair, with proper attention to the alignment of the repaired car, and that the rest of the chassis was worth re-using.
