Welding on my dash frame question

Pictures?
Looks like an idiot who owned her before me cut out the radio section of a different dash frame so he could fit a 73 style radio and bezel into her. Ive to do some serious figgerin here, either cut out the hole sections in a square so the thumbwheels fit and hope that mangled top mounting bracket can be straightened so its useable; at least the lower mounting hole hasnt been butchered. Or I look for a donor 1970 dash frame to either cut out the radio section and weld it in, or just replace the entire frame considering I would have a donor frame anyways......
By the way, if the previous owner of my car happens to see this and recognizes his old car in my avatar, id like to kick you in the head.
