ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the repair of damaged vehicle body structure of the type in which the apparatus is secured to the vehicle body or frame and supports force-applying apparatus and measuring apparatus to permit concurrently the repair of damaged parts and the making of measurements relative to selected datum points. The apparatus comprises a pair of beam members each of which movably supports thereon a pair of clamping means for clamping to the underside of the vehicle body so as to permit these two beam members to be clamped in horizontal parallel spaced relationship to each other transversely to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. A means such as a pair of supporting wheels affixed to each of the transverse beams holds the beams and the attached vehicle in an elevated position to permit the insertion under the transverse beams of a rigid rectangular frame whose length at least equals that of the vehicle body and whose width is less than the length of each transverse beam. Clamping through bolts pass through both a transverse beam and the longitudinal beam members forming the rigid frame to provide a rigid structure which supports force-applying apparatus and measuring apparatus.
