Personally I wouldn't 'trust' a frame that has had the kinked top & down tubes pulled back into shape, no matter what tool or jig is used, and the forks in question to me seem they are probably bent just a little too much...sure they will go back, maybe not as correctly as one would like, there is the danger that the upper section of the blade will go out of alignment, or even the crown may twist? [once the metal has deformed by that ammount it can be easier to 're form' to the damaged state, ie it would bend more easily in the event of a crash][or even under heavy braking!]
For piece of mind I'd recomend a new pair of forks, shouldn't be too hard to replicate. That's my professional opinion.......others may have a different outlook.
