Hi Fritz,
I'm not sure where your damage is but both my car and Niles' car have sustained big hits in the front. My car has had the frame rail straightened (mostly straight anyway) on the passenger side just at the suspension pick up points. The rail isn't pretty, but the car holds its alignment...

Mine was hit hard on passenger side rear wheel which moved the rear tub about 3/4 inch left so the hatch is up a little/over the rear quarter on the right side and there's a gap of about 1 inch on the left between the hatch and rear quarter seam. There's also a pretty good dent or crease on the left quarter in front of the gas fill door where that section was moved left.
My neighbor was outside doing some lawn work last night and he saw the car and came over to ask questions. He races short track stock cars and works at a body shop and he said not to give up yet and that he'd have one of the owners of the shop come by and see if it can be fixed. They have lots of experience fixing damaged race cars LOL.

straight.http://www.mizelles.net/. Several years ago I was rear ended in my Durango. The roof was actually bent up in the middle. They actually pulled it out
and it drove like new. I was amazed. I know my old Durango wasn't going 160
down the back straight but I'm sure these guys can get you back where you were.
With all the effort you have into setting your car up, seems a shame to start all over again. As long as these guys can get you straight enough to get your alignment, your $$$$ ahead. Randy Mizelle will tell you in short order if it can be done. Cheers!
