Default Z06 frame Straightening issues

Hi,



What is the opinon of the experts here, on Straightening an 06 Z06 frame? Any issues?

My frame friend has an 06 to fix and has asked me to put the question up to the experts here. It's not too bad, just bent about 15 dgrees ahead of the engine.

Being auminum, it requires special care, Probably need to call Dana to get the straight poop.
