While I'm not Trevor, I do have argon, a TiG welder and know how to use
them. Welding aluminum isn't the problem as I see it.

I'd like to figure out how to "bend" the IC so that it fits
longitudinally in the cavity below and behind the front bumper. I think
it would require at least two "kinks" to work.

I suspect pressurizing with water and then bending would be required
to avoid collapsing the core. I don't have access to that technology.

<sigh>
