1 or 2 inches bent .... and only tapped the stump???

Most panel beaters have the required gear but are you comprehensively insured? If so then you need to notify your insurer first.

just taped a stump hu you must have hit at least 50 kmh to bend it
you can do three things
insurance if you have it will writen it off most likely so take out any gear before hand as it will be theres as repair to chassie are funny

no insurance
take it to some panel beater shops in cranny somerville seaford for prices
or try bending it back your self useing bottel jacks from othere chassie rail and oxy heat can work then brace it up
or buy a new chassie rail from wreakers and change over every thing
are you sure its that bent pics would be nice

Put a sling on the bent front part and wrap it around the stump and drive backwards fast.
