I am replacing all the bushings in my irs everything is ready to go but the shop that pressed the old bushings out messed up the shell in one of my upper control arms and took it out. I cant find a stock bushing anywhere to buy new. anyone have one left over from a delrin swap or suggest any solutions?

IIRC the delrin set up doesn't require the shell. It's been a long time, but I swear I pulled the shells out of all four control arms when I did mine.

I'm doing my FTBR install now, so I'll have my old ones if you need them.
I know on the lower control arm you press the sleeves out, you leave them in for the subframe and the upper you press out but to get the removal tool to hold you have to grind off a bit of the shell face. It may not matter if that part has been removed or not but thought I'd let you know.
