no time to hunt? just use your 93 gt

So I got my first doe of the year with my 93 mustang GT. Aside from shattered lights, bent fender, (which I already addressed) I thought I would pull the driver's side wheel off and inspect the tie rod ends, etc. They were fine but I noticed my inner tire was showing belt. I had my wife take it in for an alignment today while I was at work and they guy told me via her phone that the frame was bent and he could not adjust it anymore, such that it has a permanent -2 degree castor making it wear toe in. I assumed he looked at both sides and I don't know if there is an inner adjustment inside the boots on the rack assy... I just have to assume he knew what he was talking about. My question is this: has anyone ever experienced, or been told their frame was warped and to take it to a pro body shop to have it pulled to allow for the tolerance to adjust it back into proper alignment? If so, what kind of price range am I looking at? For that matter, could there be something he overlooked? I asked him if he checked the suspension and he said it was fine. Aside from the deer, the only other thing I have done to this car is nudge, ok, swap ends into a clay embankment at low speeds. The only damage noticed then was a cracked corner on my bumper cover... Any adivce, insite, etc. is welcome.

Re: no time to hunt? just use your 93 gt

Whenever there isn't enough castor and camber to set to specs and there are no parts worn it can be brought back to specs by bending the frame in the direction it needs to go. They chain the car down to the rack and use a hydraulic jack to bend the frame. It's about an hour's labor and is the right thing to do rather than to start throwing parts at it. Like said, a body shop could do it and a shop that just does front end work could do it.
