Default Frame

I am working on a 1930 tudor sedan. The driver's front frame horn is bent inward. I want to straighten it out. If I place a straight edge on the outside of the frame and pull the horn outward until the horn lines up with the straight edge will this be the correct position? Secondly what is the distance between the front frame horns?


I tried to attach a picture but it does not show up here, it uploaded but would not appear in the attached box.

Default Re: Frame

the attached image says 25 1/4"
.. I would make a frame center-line and measure 1/2 the distance off that,
as both noses could be a bit bent... after 88 years.

Bend it cold. Don't heat it.
