Ok i bent my frame right where the door hinges mount to the point where the frame cant be pulled back straight without ripping out the support and noone around can cut that section so i can weld a new one in for some reason. The shop i work at has called everyone in the area and the ones who will cut it dont have an eclipse. My question is, could i cut an avengers a piller section where the hinges mount? if not an avenger could i do a 2g talon? Thanks in advance.
 
deff. could use a 2g talon, not so sure about the avenger. It has the same doors / dash and shares many of the same parts. It is possible but I would go take a very close look at one and take a few measurements before cutting anything.

Sorry for taking so long to reply but thank you. i went to the local pull only junkyard today and they have a talon, only problem is they dont cut frames so myy plan is to get an inverter and run a grinder with a cutoff wheel on a car battery and cut it myself.. if anyone has a better mean of doing so i am open to suggestions, thanks in advance
 
Here's another idea. Take your car to a specialty frame shop (yes they actualy do exist). Look for one that uses a laser alignment rack. They should be able to straighten out any damage without causing anything further. Its a shame your not out here in vegas, we have some awesome shops here. I had to send me gst to a frame shop when I first got it. Think the total bill was around 400. Just an idea. Take it in, let them take a look at it, it cant hurt and at most shops the estimate is free. Anyway that's my .02 good luck and keep us updated.
