How can I straighten out the metal apron that holds the front fender on.

took a hit from the side, didn’t look too bad at first.

Tie it off to a tree with a chain and back up slowly. That is a back woods frame machine.

Best leave that to a professional

I brought it to a shop to fix as much as they could in a day and I’ll replace the core support and radiator support in the future when I can justify spending the money. I tried using a come along attatched to a telephone pole but it did sfa
