Measuring the frame rails just in front of the IFS then at the very front did reveal that theyre pulled in about 1/4" from that front crossmember getting pushed in a little. I plan to cut it out and replace it with a new piece of square tube anyway, and in the process correct the frame rail width. When it was at the body shop and they did their estimate, that was the only frame damage he talked about, and he called it purely "cosmetic" frame damage. Im sure that replacing that piece will solve the problem. Its going to be a little while until we get the parts we need to start reassembly (core support pieces and so on) so I have time to do that part first, but I have a good overall feeling about the project. Its going a lot smoother than I thought so far. Hopefully when it comes to line things up it works out the same way again, haha. ~T.J.
