i had the same dent there in my new frame ..when we built the chassis ,,,we pulled it out and used por-15 puddy to get the thing looking as even as possible,,,thats why you shouldnt use a floor jack there ..and i always remember.. so i dont crack the por putty... use a dent puller and order some puddy from a por-15 vendor .there using it also for repairing rusted out holes in windshield frames,stuff drys hard as a rock-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paragon has the repair panel you need. Grind off the dented panel from the bottom of the cross member and weld this panel in its place. Why buy just a tool to repair what you have that may never look right again, when you can buy a correct reproduction repair piece?
I wish these were available when I was restoring my frame!

Hard rubber hockey pucks fit nicely between the frame and the jack and leave no marks. They are pretty cheap about $2.00 and they last forever.
