wall flange and crossmember

The wall flange? So I do actually cut off the flange completely at the base of it? then mig it? sigh~ the area over where the battery used to be kind of worries me as it's corroded, but I don't see daylight. or if worser, I could put metal behind it and fill that with weld. I thought maybe one would leave a tiny bit overhang, bend it over with a hammer, then weld.

Well, after looking at the rivets, and I've removed a few, I'd rather not remove rivets. I was thinking more along the lines of taking a good sawzall blade and cutting in the areas where the duct tape is, then I can make tabs to rebolt it back up?(if it fits) or make something else to connect the frame back together.

That's what I'm going to do with the engine mounts when I'm absolutely sure. Cut the top/reweld.
