bent frame

How much do you think it will cost to bend the frame back in place.
the only bent parts are where the brackets for the bumpers are.
The new bumper is only on by 3 bolts cause the brackets that stick out of the frame are bent back

can i do this on my own?

Is the frame bent or the bumper brackets? If its the frame, its about a week and a grand. If its the bumper brackets, I'd get a torch and heat treat it and bang it back in place.

Pictures would help. But if it's only the brackets that sit on top of the frame like said before just heat it up and go to town with a hammer. If it's the actual frame get ready to pay a pretty penny to put in one bolt.
