To me, fixing that particular misalignment required replacing the slam panel on which the lights are bolted. How is he going to correct this misalignment if he doesn't change the panel but cut it and weld ?
Wait... I'm confused. The old panel needs to be cut off, of course. Are you saying he's only cutting half of it off? I'd replace the entire slam panel if it was me, since it's length (width of the car) is a guaranteed known quantity and can't be wrong.
