I am debating replacing front lowers because they are pretty rough but I can't hardly stomach 600 ea for new steel fenders. I figure i can spend some time on them for 600. Plus my son is only 5 and this truck is for him so i guess I have a little while.

I have looked and saw a lot of good articles on repairing rust on the outer lip and the rear of the fender, this picture is of the front toward the inside where the upper grille panel bolts to the fender. It is cracked just at the top of the fender. Would it be better to try to replace or try to weld this up.
