Since the frame appears to be 2 rails that should be level, I think you can fix it yourself. Measure to find out which rail is bent & where it is bent at.....usually one rail will be pushed up & if your doors are working okay it will be probably be bent at the firewall area.
If the bend is confined to one area you can cut a pie shaped of the frame & push the rail in place, weld & box.
This sounds easy but, it will take many hours of leveling & measuring first. If the frame is bent over a large area this area will have to be cut out & replaced.
let us know where the damage is BEFORE proceedingDon Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).
We managed to get a couple of other small things taken care of. One was blacking out the front of the core support. When the sun hit the front of the car just right that green paint on the core...
