If it isn't crushed too much you can probably pull it back out. log chains, a heavy come along, & a tree should do it. I've done this type of repair a few times. Saves trying to weld in a new header panel.

The whole rad support bolts out. I picked up just the top cross member for $10 at the local pic-n-pull because the hood bumpers on mine were frozen with corrosion. Would be pretty easy to get it all of it.
