Steve, that reminds me that you CAN get away with amazing stuff with steel frames. A former shop employee of mine & racer girl (Vikki Coffey as many of you NC boys will remember.. fast rider, gorgeous and smart) endo-ed her DeRosa and Ijacked it back out... she rode it another year and sold it to Rick Dedman in Southern Pines (an attorney no less!) who rode it another 5 or 6 years! Astounding!

Just as an idea you could get the frame straightened out and ride it for a few years then when it feels like you got you moneys worth out of the old paint then you could feel better about the cost of the big repair. Good luck and I like the air bag idea Brian had.
