RE: Pulling a frame back together

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

Was there any cracking to go along with the spreading?  I'm parting my '84
right now, and when I was under there pulling the swaybar to put on my '82,
I noticed a crack inthe left "subframe" or whatever you want to call it.
Sort of explains why it really dug into corners hard going one way but not
the other.
