ABSTRACT:
A method for the repair of damaged vehicle body structure by mounting the vehicle upon frame apparatus of the type adapted for applying forces to selected portions of the damaged vehicle body to restore the vehicle body and/or frame to its original configuration and for concurrently making measurements relative to selected datum points. A plurality of parallel, generally horizontal spaced rigid supporting beams are secured to the underside of the vehicle body, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The vehicle is raised with the transverse beams secured thereto a sufficient distance to permit the insertion underneath said transverse beams of a rigid substantially rectangular frame whose width is less than the length of the transverse beams and whose length exceeds that of the vehicle body. Each transverse beam is rigidly secured to the rigid frame at each intersection of a transverse beam with a structural member of the rigid frame, and force-applying means is secured to the rigid frame for application of forces to selected portions of the vehicle body.
