you can have that part cut and rewelded but you may as well shoot for a used dc or something. just look around for a deal on one.

For dents take a nut and tack weld it in two spots then thread a bolt in it and heat the spot up and pull the dent down either with arm power or a dent puller works wonders

This does work in most cases. If the dent is too bad to fix this way, chances are that section would need cut out and replaced.
