Thanks to Bruce Stone I have some sheet metal to work with. My plan is as follows:
* Plan A: Use a Port-a-power to push as much of the metal back in to shape and hammer and dolly from there. I have at least one line on an affordable body shop to do the finish work after I rough it in. * Plan B: Push some metal back and cut and weld in parts from the lot that Bruce secured for me. * Plan C: Push the fronts back in as close as I can get and flare the rear with QRS panels and Duz fastners.  |

Ah... I've had really good luck with the stuff (whatever we are using) for mounting things that WOULD normally crack over time. I've used it for all kinds of tab mounts with great success. My welder is really, really good, so maybe he has some magic stuff.
