You really need to give more information and photos. That is a MUST!!!!!

No year model given. AND I do not go by people avatars....and I assume it is not your Corvette.

And it is hard to comment when the extent of the damage has not been given also.

The car is a 2012 GS. The car was hit on the left front with several thousands of dollars of repair. There was problems with the insurance company and the body shop got the car in the settlement. The body shop owner wants to put another car's body on the 'Vette frame. He just asked me if I knew how to remove the aperture. All other body parts are off the car. Picts are not possible due to the storage location. I just thought that I would ask on the forum if anyone knew how to remove the aperture in order to help him out.
