drill out all the spot welds, thats all that holds it in there, you can see where they're all at too. just use a big enough bit to make sure u get the whole weld. when finished, put some tape underneath the holes, fill the holes with jbweld, then cover that with tape or grind it down once its dry. of course cover any bare metal with paint or something to avoid rust.

"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war; our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"
