Good advice. I made it work for now, but if I ever have to do this repair again I'll explore better ways to weld the thin plate. The P.O. simply wrapped the area in even thinner plate metal and applied a ton of caulking and bondo to seal it all in.That thin stuff that's rusted is the worst. It's nearly impossible to weld. If you can, it helps to put some copper pipe behind it while you're welding.
