Personally I dont think i would put the effort into doing it (especially with no sentimental value to yourself), the frame is probably bent to hell. Part it and buy yourself one that isnt screwed up.

It wastn bent? guess he got lucky. Still though, things may not exactly line up once you get all of the work done to it and it might bug the hell out of you.

I got in a minor wreck on mine, and after repairs nothing lines up perfect. it pisses me off so much.

When I "killed" this Ricer doing a fly-by, my whole front end was gone.
However, my repair shop did a perfect job of bringing my baby back, I have no alignment issues, and I even had minor frame damage.
Its actually in better condition now than the day I got it
