Straightening 1932 Frame

Anybody know of a shop that will straighten out a 1932 frame? Preferably in the Chicago area but I’m willing to consider shops out of state. I’ve tried to contact Ionia Speed Shop in Michigan using the information on the web, but I was unsuccessful. Perhaps someone has current contact information.
Thanks,
 
I made cross braces that were drilled to the cross dimensions from angle iron. I did not do it but a little trig should produce angle dimensions. I was able to get a very dimensionally correct frame.

KiWinUS - I was able to reach out to Brothers Custom and it looks like they will be able to help out. Thank you for the information.

Andy,
Thanks for the information. Both of my frames have the usual bulge at the kick up and then part of the front frame horns are twisted. So, I will need someone that can pull the rear frame horns up and weld the cracks, etc. And They should be able to help me reinstall both front cross members with rivets.

I've also confirmed that Ionia Speed Shop has closed.

No worries. Wait until you see their shop. They build amazing cars and flathead engines. Super great people.
