(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Guys and gals, I have a painful situation which has arrisan. Look closely at the pics>

My predicament is that I need to replace this area which includes the left cross bar mount..

I have a spare car with excellent metal--I was thinking on cutting this large area out from the spare, trimming it down and marking the cut out area onto this car and then.....

Would it be advisable to do like as if I am adding flares (glass) and leave a lip and seam weld it as well as drill holes in the rpl. piece and tack it as well--this would move the mount the thickness of the metal -or -

trim it out exact and just seam weld it along the perimiter--

Is there enough adjustability in the front to make up that extra thickness by going the first route???

I sure want it strong enough!!

Thanks in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
