My thought (given there?s not a shortage of open space inside the chassis)
was to put a car jack inside and jack it up thus pushing out the top. My
concern there was that there would be an ?equal and opposite reaction?).
Perhaps a 2x4 that goes side to side under the jack would alleviate this.
But on freenode #classiccmp (where I hang out pretty much every night),
PJustice and Sark both had similar ideas for an alternative approach that
took advantage of the fact that the top of the chassis has a lot of vent
holes on top. I implemented their approach and it worked very well so I
thought I?d document it with pictures and post here. I should note that this
approach only works because the angle iron I used was 14ga. Anything less
would just bend itself.
For car body repair it exists a method with spot-welded pins:
the pin is specially done to be able to spot-weld it with a electric arc
welder.
pull at them using slide hammer
remove the stub and clean up the damage afterwards.
This method will unfortunately destroy the zink layer.
Look for stub weld.
