they wouldn't be getting my business if they did. they actually pulled the frame and pounded it back as close as possible, then filled in with Bondo to keep it straight. I specifically asked them to keep the bondo as thin as possible and they did a wonderful job at doing so.

we found some more rust spots as well so they will be finishing putting on new metal in those places and should be done by next Saturday.
