Hack saw blades welded to improper size dead front cover.
Tab…slap a OSHA sticker on it, good as new.

Just try NOT to touch it when you place that sticker…lol…
I never SAW such a thing 
WHY ???
Improper sized or replacement panel cover???
My guess, someone was bored and playing, unless you’re not kidding or I’m missing something else???
I am impressed with the charred finish though.
My favorite is the AHJ’s tag which was attached to this panel. Passed with flying colors!! Besides the pics I posted there was a multitude of electrical conditions present all of which were blatantly obvious. I dont know who the bigger hack was, the AHJ or the person who did this crappy work…
That says it was a crappy installation when he started and it is still crappy.
“repair to existing”.
But we all know that AHJs never accept any responsibility for bad calls. 
Gee, that is quite a detailed spec, ain’t it.
