What should I do with this???

So I have parts of a frame left after I got everything I need for my K5. It took a hit on the dr side sometime and its tweaked a little. Might be bad though as I never saw a body on the frame...

Front of the frame at the core support mounts. The left rail is pushed out to the left.



This is on the same rail (driver side) right in front of where the main suspension crossmember mounts.



This is further down the rail, right about the tranny xmember i think.




So like the poll says, what should I do????

I say cut it up and keep the back half, but save the nicer cut pieces for people that need a frame patch.

Thats a good idea. I hadnt thought about that one. I know the rear of the frames rust alot up north, does it get the front too?
