Looking at the pictures that you sent the unibody can be damaged and the K-memeber can be ok. What we can do is repair the unibody and fit the K-memeber for you.

My concern is that I intend to go with the Alterktion setup, can anyone advise me as to whether or not to send the Valiant to the frame shop with the original K frame, or should it go with the Alterktion K frame instead? I dont want to make a tactical error at this point in the process that could impact everything else lining up down the road! Here is the advise from the guys at Texas Auto Restoration after informing them that the K frame bolt holes are all equal distance apart:

"as long as the bolt holes in the frame are equal distance apart then I do not need to have the frame straightened..." - i knew the correct answer, however, i did run this by danny. both danny and i are in total agreement that the appropriate procedure to avoid headaches down the road w/ body panel alignment, drivetrain alignment, and wheel alignment would be to get the K-frame and take the chassis and the frame to a reputable frame shop. no if's, and's, or but's.

So, to all ya'll's out there in restoration land, should I send the Valiant to the frame shop with the stock K frame or with the Alterktion frame? Or, does it need to go to the frame shop at all since the K frame holes are all equal distance apart?
