I have it traced out where I am going to remove the damaged area. Before, this was filled in with filler and I tried pulling it out with a stud hammer. Because the area has a rather complex cure, the metal is not very malleable. None of the stud hammering pulled any part of it out. I will cut this part out and patch in a replacement.
I found this rather crude organ downer online. It was cheap, because it is pretty rusty, but the part I need is OK. I wish under the eye wasn't so jacked up as I would have liked to pull the who area, but once I have the cut open, I'll be able to work on the other part with a hammer and dolly. I'll also have to pull out a small 5"x5" patch on the passenger's side. It is not shown in the above picture, but there is a small rust hole there.
I've also found online a nose clip that I can replace the smashed up nose area of the bus. This will handle the bang in the front. This project will begin when I close up the side. I'll start cleaning up the downer part when I have a moment before, As I want to reduce the big elements in my garage. So I am going to do most of the cutting this weekend.
