It's kinda hard to tell from your pix, but it doesn't look like the frame rails are bent. Rather it appears that only the rear crossmember is damaged - certainly twisted, maybe pushed in a little.

This is a setback - not a deal breaker. I've seen far worse repaired.

Before resorting to a BFH, you might try to lay hands on a huge crescent wrench, wind the jaws down on the lip of the crossmember and give a little twist in the opposite direction of the impact.

Patience, and it'll come.
