Picked up a neat frame alignment tip from a roadside garage in Italy

I was driving through the Italian countryside and had a minor fender bender. The local repair shop used a homemade jig to straighten the frame, and it worked perfectly! Has anyone seen or tried something like this before?

Disagree with using garage fixes for serious frame work. That homemade jig sounds like a safety gamble to me, and honestly, @piper_coleman might be onto something with knowing your limits. Proper alignment needs real tools, not roadside rigs.

In my experience, a buddy's car got straightened in Greece with a similar jig. It was a bit rough around the edges, but it did the job just fine.

Guess my DIY skills peaked at tightening loose screws on my fridge door.
