It was full body filler. Chunks flew off. It was funny though. Now theres cracks all over the place but the owner just wanted to pull the frame so the door would shut.

is there any buckling in the quarter panel or creases around the window frame?? You probley dont need a frame rack to pull it. Just a slide hammer, some clamps attachments, a chaine, a hammer to relieve the metal in areas as you pull. That should be it. A stud welder is useless for this since its so big that u would need a big ass strong pin to pull it out. A small tow dolly or heel dolly would help around the concave areas near your tail lights and such.
Ill post better pics in like 2 hours so you can tell me what you think i really don't know shit about body work.

Yeah that's what I'm planning on doing. The guy who sold it to me told me to not even worry to just go wide body but i don't think the wide body would fit right with that hit.
