Default Frame Straightening Cost?

Last year I bought a car that needed some body work done to it. (it was only $600). I rebuilt the engine and got a lot of suspension work done, and when I tried to replace the motor mounts, the torque mount on the side nearest the body damage wouldn't bolt up. I can't find any info on how much it might cost me to have the frame straightened, and in doing so, am I sure that they will fix everything perfectly. This car is a race car and I want everything to be straight (don't care too much about what it looks like). My second option is to find an affordable straight chassis and swap all of my parts over. Any info on how much this might cost me I'd appreciate it. Thanks,

Sean

Well, I don't know what the rates are in NC, but in Baltimore the frame rate is about $45.00 average. To set the car up on the frame rack, measure, and pull your looking at roughly 8 hours depending on the damage. That's not including any body/cosmetic work that needs to be done. Hope that helps
