Question for the group:
The bounce test is when you open all the doors, take off the roof, and jump up and down on the passenger side. Then you try to close the doors and see if they close easily. Suppose your car fails the bounce test. It's clear that the car would need major surgery in the form of rust repair and reinforcing. But if you do the bounce test and fail, did you just bend the car? Is straightening it as simple as putting a jack under it? Or would you need to do something more elaborate? Has anyone been down that road? Thanks, Mclovin |
