My options on this frame rail?

I didn't do this... but did not notice it when purchased from previous owner. Both sides have the same abuse. Wondering what can be done.

You can take it too a good body shop that has a frame "bench" i think its called, basically they put your car on it and they will straighten it as much as posible, other than that nothing much that i know of. good luck

edit also : as far as i know it shouldnt effect performance that much if any but get into an accedent and it will crumple like a tin can. Guru's feel free to correct me if wrong

I think the car got driven offroad onto a rock!
Don't bother trying to straight it - it's a waste of money.
It's better to buy just another chassis...

Thanks guys. Glad I am not the only one.

I guess it won't hurt to take it in some place and ask. The car drives, and has been driving, great regardless.

If it does hurt performance in any manner, it would be nice if someone could chime in.
