Chaining on torsion caps.....
Any advise either do or don't on chaining the extention rear torsion caps to pull rear hit. I don't have a Cellet rack, nor do we have Porsche clamps in the city I live in. It seems to be a small hit with two .50 wrinkles in the left bumper frame extension. We are going to heat wrinkles and hope to pull out and up .50 to 1 inch. . I have added a picture and the car is an 85.
Thanks for any and all help.

no way not even on that light hit !!!!!! and do not use heat !!! if you use heat and the car gets hit there again your going to be F@#$ed . it will be twice as bad with a smaller hit . and were would you chain down the front ? if your pulling the left rear then the cars nose will want to swing to the left as well . i would weld some angle iron to the rockers and just use the clamps . it may be a little more work ? but if you mess up the alignment by pulling the torsion tube then how would you plan on doing that repair . look at the mounting points for the tube . the tube looks beaffy but it only goes to sheet mettal . it looks like it needs a pull up as well as out and over . you will be refinishing the rocker on the left side so there is not much more work there . and as for the right side rocker to repair that after you cut off the angle iron thats no big real . feather out out the chip guard rechip guard and blend off the color and clear . its way under the car and if the tech knows his biz your looking at maybe an hour to an hour an a half of labor. remember your working a crumple zone so it will need about a 3000 LBS pull thats alot for a torsion tube in a way that it was not made to go .
