Hey Matt, I don't mean to sound like I'm putting you down for the cheap fix....I'm not. Here's some more words of wisdom from my Dad......If you don't have the time and money to do it right, how are you going to find the time and money to do it over???????

Just take your time and weld some pieces in, Those wheel lips been rusted for a long time, a waiting a little more time til you can do it right won't hurt a thing.

Just more advice from the "been there, done that" peoples !!!!!
