Hello Jayson!
Thanks for the tip of Jayson. I tried to pull it but did not succeed. Our painter said that I can cut it open and weld to the right place. He promised to paint secondary color. The painter hoped that he would not have to paint the light bronze metallic color(primary color) again. We will fix it until the last.

By the way; I sended private message for you.

This is powerful 6.2 litre diesel. Yes, I know, it should be big gasoline engine. But we want to keep it original motor.

My brother blasted those parts with glass beads. Finally, he process aluminum with a Sinol(hopefully this is right word). Sinol should react with aluminum and not be dirty again.

Thank you Jayson! Hopefully, on Saturday, we get the engine back on the frame.
In our city we have every year a "big" meeting for US cars on May 1st, but by then this truck is not ready.
