Bulkhead Cooler Replacement

Has anyone here had to replace their bulkhead cooler? I sucked a rock up into my tunnel this weekend and killed the tunnel cooler and the bulkhead cooler also sustained some damage. It looks like a huge pain to replace. The bolts on either side of the cooler don't look bad but having to drill out those rivets on the belly panel to access two larger bolts doesn't look fun. Looking for some guidance from anyone with experience. I'm no stranger to wrenching on stuff, but there is a point where its too involved.

Just bring it to a good shop and get them both welded.

(I've welded a few tunnel coolers)

Or do an insurance claim.

I don't think there's much saving that can be done to the tunnel cooler. It yanked the rivets through my tunnel. I already have an insurance claim open was just curious if it was very difficult. I may just do the tunnel portion myself, my buddy has done a few and have a shop do the bulk head.

Tunnel and bulkhead happen at the same time.

Just let them do it.
