Cost effective, probably not to me......but let me change my mind when this bed is cut all to pieces right! I've been going back and forth about making the cuts now or doing the repair first. I think I am leaning towards doing the repair first because I believe I'll stand a better chance of pulling measurements for the cutting part. I'm a total beginner at this too, but what the hell, I'll just be buying bedsides anyway if I screw them up too bad!

My thought is, what if a cut the spot welds to the inner structure? Maybe I'll get some metal relief with that?
