If it fits with minimal issues. Wonderful.

If not, back to the body shop.
if it is tweaked that much, make the car a cool daily and get another f body for racing. You really want to make power on a tweaked frame? You can straighten it all you want, doesnt mean it will ever be right.

Thanks for the advice. You're right, but I can't do that. I'm too damn sentimental. Without going into too much detail, there are just too many things this car and I have done. I'm not willing to let that go or let the car be lost to the fate of being a daily driver in Iowa. Plus cars far worse than this one have been repaired. I apparently just need to find someone better who is willing to do what it takes to help me make this happen. I still have plans for this car and it will ride again.

Get an aftermarket K member and get the car on a frame machine. It should be able to be pulled back into spec.
