Is there a such thing as replacement torque boxes? I ask because mine were completely torn off the frame.

So I should just get the reinforment N get it put in? My boy pounded it back to shape N welded it as best as he could. I mean it feels WAYYYY better than it has ever felt since I've had this car.

What's the general going price for installing the torque boxes and seam welding the factory ones? Mine are damn near perfect but I wanna get em ready for track use.
