I'd save the cowl, even if you have to disassemble the whole thing to have it straightened and reinstalled. I would not remove the cowl tag.

But if you insist, lots and lots of pics are a must. I would not weld the hidden VINs back on the new cowl. I'd save the whole cowl with hidden VINs and TT.

But again, I'd straighten the original cowl!!!
