^^^ That part is the upper outer apron panel, and generally will not require being placed on a frame machine to repair, unless the front structure is swayed over. Take a look at the panel gaps on the left side, is the gap between the hood and left fender uniform? How about the left fender and to the left door? Depending on how badly that upper outer rail is, the damage may not have gotten into the inner apron panels at all (this would be very good) and you could straighten it and not have to replace. The good news is that it is a non-appearance part, so as long as you were able to make it structurally sound, it doesn't have to be pretty.
got the body shop guy over here to look at it yesterday morning he got under it and the rear is messed really bad the frame is twisted pretty good said it would cost more to fix then it would to buy another but now with this on my record insurance is going to be worse and i only had liabilty on this one so either looking for a 98+ dd car with blown motor / tranny or selling this car to someone whp could part it out or turn into a racer
