Please Help fix this lower rad support

Hello all, hit a racoon going fast... again. Destroyed rad, condenser, fans and shroud, tweaked upper rad support, and nearly destroyed lower rad support. I have new Denso cond. and rad ready to go and a rough '05 parts Prius for ancillaries. Unfortunately, the damage to the lower rad support was worse than I hoped. As you can see in the pictures I was able to bend it back some but it will never be the same. I have mulled my options and have come up with several ideas.

#1 run as is after some final body work (i.e. more sledgehammer) drawbacks: it's already going to be tough installing the new rad as is, not sure if even possible as the clearances are even tighter now with everything tweaked slightly inward.

#2: Cut out the middle section of the support in between each of the rad support holes, and then run treated wood in between what remains to bridge the gap. Once disconnected in the middle, I may be able to be able to bend them back so the rad support holes are closer to where they originally lie.

#3: Cut out an even bigger section (including the rad support holes) and then cut out the entire lower rad support from the parts prius and lay it on top of the ends. If they stacked onto each other nicely this would in theory be the best option. However, given the state of my lower rad support, I predict the new one wouldn't lay together nicely with it.

Drawbacks to cutting options: I don't currently own or know how to use a plasma cutter. The other problem is being totally committed once you start - no turning back. Also a chance of damaging already bent ac lines, and other items. Please if anyone has any ideas thanks

btw not fixing is not an option

 

It looks like the lower radiator support is "stamped" into the frame somehow. I wonder if it would be possible to drill these stamps out and rivet it back into place??
