Exactly what i thought.

The kid across the street from me is constantly buying wrecked cars from copar. He frequently asks me how to fix it and I tell or help him do it. Every now and then one comes in with frame damage or other structural problems and I just tell him it can't be done in the driveway.

He send it to his uncle who straightens the structure enough to align the car and it's back in the driveway to be finished.

There are literally dozens of people doing this within a couple miles of my house. I guarantee you nobody is certified including the uncle who straightens frames.
