pictures speak for themselves

I think im going to snag a dude from the local body shop to help me figure out how to knock up new metal to go in there unless you guys have any grand ideas.. its quite a complicated shape to easily reproduce by hand

I have a little mig that would probably do the trick.. im quite handy with that..

was also thinking maybe hand hammer form a chunck of aluminum cut from a snowmobile tunnel.. with the flat bottom marked to match and bend up high sides to match the orig box, bit of heat and a ball peen..
3m windshield glue and pop rivits?

your "now what?" is spot on..

im a mechanic, not an artist, don't know much about bodywork and my fabrication ideals are straight lines..

I would like to put the battery back in there so maybe some beams across the bottom of new box for support somehow...

I just really want ALL THE RUST GONE!! FOR GOOD!!!

decision in progress

might even chop out that chunk of firewall and replace
