This is how my night ended

[Raptor]

Considering the cost and the likelyhood of frame damage, I would do the shell thing as well, especially with it being front drive. There is a kid down here named jeremy that just destroyed his motor and tranny in his front drive, called me looking to sell it cheap. It was just painted and doesn't look bad for a budget job. Dark blue in color. I probably have his number around if you are interested. Just PM me and I will hunt it down. Glad to hear you are okay.
