^^^^^^^what hes talking about, something this bad i would pull the rails first, and it looks like the drivers side is the worst hit, i would section the left rail, repair the right, replace the core support, it does depend on how far the rail is kinked too, if its kinked all the way back by the side of the block, on both rails, then ya i would have the engine pulled, possibly the suspension pulled out of the way too

easier for us to repair frame damage, with parts out of the way, can a good tech fix thing car??? yes is it going to be costly??? yes!!! do we want all the parts every single part?? yes!!!

here where i work labor prices are
body-65 an hour
frame-90
mechanical-85
electrical-75
paint-65
so ya its going to get costly dude

For San Jose I have heard really good things about Freeman frame and alignment on capitol ave. Just google for their website. The guy who owns it has been doing frame and suspension work for like thirty years or something and is supposed to be a guru. I have no personal experience there though unfortunately. Good luck.
