I’m looking for a 1948-1953 DX straight frame to restore, if you have one that you’re interested in selling please contact me. I have most of the part for the restoration, but the frame I have now is in poor condition and have decided to abort.
 
Aren't those two different things...a DX and a straight bar? A DX having a curved intermediate bar.

Postwar DX...

Yep DX is curved.
These frames were heavy and strong. Repair may be possible unless it's completely rusted away. Whole sections can be replaced and welded in. Bends can be straightened.

Post up some pics of your frame and maybe get some ideas on whether to fix or trash it.
