There really is no other way to do it than to cut it out and weld new in. Anything else would not last long. I'm sure someone will come in here and tell you how to butcher it up though.

My new boss is going to teach me how to weld so I probably will weld in new panels. Thanks for advice

bondo doesn't have strutural support, it's meant to fill in minor imperfection, you can't build a unibody out of cans of bondo
