Peter, when you do decide to look into the damage on your Vee, let me know what parts you need. I will go through all my spare parts and if I have anything you need consider it yours. Lets get your car back on the track as soon as possible.
It won't be the same without racing against you!

Peter,
I have a front beam in my garage that you are more than welcome to. Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Peter:
What happened? Sounds like you hurt the front end. Need anything? I can donate a sway bar if you need one along with an axle beam.

Peter:
I was thinking about your car's damage and came up with some ideas of how to repair the main beam.
1. Weld a air fitting on to the front of the Beam tube (make sure that you have no air leaking out of it, if so weld shut any holes) get a compresser or a high pressure air tank and presureize the beam. Heat up the area around the beam that is dented when it pressureized and use- a -come- along to put the beam back to there it should be.
That should get the beam back to where it should be although you may need to shim the front to get your weights back.
I am sure everyone has given you suggestions of how to repair your car but I used this method on motorcycles to fix frames and exhaust systems. But if someone has a better method consider it. Too bad you live so far way as I would like to help you fix your car. If you want to drive all the way up here we can fix it together.

Peter:
When I made reference to the "beam" I am refering to the frame beam.
