My friend is looking at restoring a cuda and at closer inspection I noticed both front frames were bent at one time and some what straightened. I believe there is close to a 1/2 inch difference in length if I measured them right. What my question is is there enough adjustment in the steering to have the car steer properly? Or would he better to replace the front fame sections from a donor car?

It needs to go on a jig in a good chassis shop and pulled right. You can't make short cuts like that.

If it will not pull straight the defective leg will have to be replaced. But they usually do pull straight.
