    new slam panel? any ideas?

    long story but taking an engine out last week in a fit of rage i took a grinder to the slam panel (at the time of doing this i was in a mood and didnt think i was using the shell again) will get pics tomorrow of the damage,
    iv cut it near the wing on passangers side and just as it strightens up on the drives side,

    any ideas?

    Just get a replacement part from a panel supplyer or get down the scrappys with a hacksaw, then just weld it back on or overlap it and bolt it back on
