Funny thing is it does not have any damage other than a fender dent. I had a low side in the driver rear and pulled the coil spring. No crassis rust either.
Replaced it twice with 2 used ones and it still sits low. I will probably build a spacer under the spring to level the car till I get it to a shop. My partner and I put 4500 miles on it on the 2012 power tour and it handles fine. No tire damage etc.

best bet is to find a reputable body shop in your area that has a frame machine, alot of the new machines are laser guided yadda yadda but may not have the specs for a 62 rambler
if it drives okay but just sits funny, I'd be tempted to space it, and if it still drives right, move on down the road. I'm with Bamfster, the one car I ever had "corrective surgery" performed on was never right again.
You don't know nuthing bout straightening them.. just bending them! HA! j/k.
This is where you are WRONG!
Gotta straighten to continue sometimes...
I've seen guys straighten their fronts with ramp trucks and the lift dolly part..
But yeah.. I try to control where and how cars bend..
if unit body is brought back to spec, it'll drive the same as new..
but you have to have a shop that knows how to use a frame machine. just because it's in the shop doesn't mean they know what they are doing, nevermind insurance jobs for most shops are in and out.
