Frame Sheets on a "Repaired" Vehicle
So I bought this car a few months ago that was repaired to "OEM Specs" and drove perfectly.
I'll let these next two images speak for themselves. Note that anything within 3 is OE Specs, and anything within 6 is manageable. Also, each image is ~1.2mb. Hyperlinked because of image dimensions.

I fixed it.
And yeah, we put it on our Chief frame rack, with 5 posts of pulling goodness.
Had an older system, thankfully it had the specs for the car.
And passenger side - kinda. It looks to me like the car hit a fence - because of the misc scratches that were on the A-Pillars and down the side of the car.
The car has been repainted now (also by me), and is one door panel, a hood (gotta repaint it), inner fenders, and mirrors away from being nearly complete. There are a few small things I am going to do that are going to detour me, but they'll make the car look that much better.

Don't want to sound rude or anything, but the car is not in specs. I have been trained on the Genisis, and Velocity. With a torque box looking like that, you should have used a three point box.

Anything within 3mm is spec. This is what I've been taught/told for the last 10 years. I also measured out the back half and it's fine - though I don't have the measurements printed because I was working primarily on the front portion of the vehicle.
