Thanks gentlemen. So for the sake of argument let's just call it 1500 bucks to get it on the bench, and then whatever it cost to start pushing and pulling things around.
Given that our cars have welded in fenders etc, any pushing or pulling would impact fender and hood fit, correct? |

We had a build that we couldn’t get the hood right. Put it on the bench. 1/2” shift to the right. Once it was straight, the hood fit properly. |

Good morning, obviously it would be a bit naive to assume getting it straight on there bench would take care of body alignment issues but you would want it pulled/pushed on the bench and finish up body alignment including checking hold for before taking it off, right? OR, is the bench time so spendy that you would need to get it on/off there ASAP? And yes, starting with an unbent car is a better ideas. |

They will be able to tell you their process. |
