Im planning on building and installing a custom 10 point roll cage and my sub frame connectors while i am in school durring the sommer, but i have aquestion. My car has been in a couple accidents on the front end. nothing major, just a couple head on hits and a hit on the front left corner. I dont think that the frame is bent, no crashes happened going remotely fast, but i was wondering if i should send the car to a frame shop before I intall anything that will stiffen the chassis, or should i just measure the front end and if it lines up call it a day. The car is going to be a drag racer, so im thinking the straighter the chassis the better. any suggestions

 

My vote is for the frame shop.

 

Frame shop gets another vote.

 

how much does it usually cost? any ideas

 

Most places, if not all charge a "hook up fee" to get it on the rack and see if it is out of factory spec, then I belive prolly a per hr. cost for how long it has to be on rig to get it in spec. So you will have to fork over prolly 70 to get it on there to even check it.
But it is a peace of mind thing. With our unibody cars and 3 wrecks even though light ones, There could have been enough to teak it. If your going to do it, do it right

Also,
Another Vote, get it checked

 

Damn straight

 

dont do it half assed make it track straight
