Here is the patch welded in and ground down. The metal I used was some scrap from a patch panel, and the line is where the old steel rolled in a little. I ground as much as I dared to get it smooth, but it'll take a little filler.

And here is the cracked lip with the new steel from another scrap, you can still see some of the black primer.
