I'm not expert on this, but maybe some others with experience can chime in on this.

I see. Perhaps I'll weld in some reinforcement. Does the rust under that bumper cover not concern you? I mention it because I just removed the bumper cover and pan below and treated the rust and repainted. It looks to be an area that rusts easily given the outer covering.
Thanks for your input.
