I thought the same thing. I don't have a frame rack, and i don't have a perfectly flat surface in my shop.

What I have done is check if for square every which way. All good. Anything that could be measured for square, I measured. I figured if it was in a wreck, SOMETHING would likely be out of square.

Sounds like it is good. I had the advantage of working at a frame shop and took all my frames there to be measured on a rack. Since he sold out 2 years ago and I don't work there anymore, the next car ('70 Chevelle) will need to go somewhere else and cost me money...and I know that one needs work...
