body- frame question [problem from small collision]

Hey all,

my 99 Honda Civic [sedan] was recently involved in a small collision (will need a new driver's side fender, bumper, and left headlight assembly) ----

The damage is mostly superficial - except - upon closer inspection to the inside, we've noticed that the frame is "pushed over" and rubbing on the power steering pump pulley ! [ Strange sounds when in "Drive" and noticeable smell ] (not currently driving it) So it's more complicated.

We were planning to take it somewhere - but were thinking, since that is all we notice that went wrong -

call us a little crazy.. but we have a possible solution:
Would it be plausible to put a long board on the frame, and beat it straight?
thinking of economical but safe solutions, had to post this.

Greatly appreciate any advice you all have.
Thank's so much!

usually its best to leave the frame repairs to a body shop.
