The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Bent frame--how bad is it?

Checked for square. There is a hole in the top of the frame rail directly opposite the dipstick, and a corresponding hole on the other side. With the engine still in place, that is the forward-most feature I can measure to. From the extreme rear-most points on the frame diagonally to the center of these holes, I get a difference of 1/16". Will search the forum archives for more about the frame straightening process. If anyone has a link to an especially good thread, please post it.
