I made those dimples into mine ... sliced the flange where they needed to be then body-hammered them into shape then welded up the slices and massaged the welds with various grinders, etc.. You couldn't tell when I was done. But its annoying that the best repro parts on the market aren't so...
There are a couple issues with the repop crossmembers ...
The main one is the top lip or flange is half the width of the original. Won't be an issue for you since you're replacing all the sheet metal BUT if you were only replacing that piece, it wouldn't cover the holes made when you drill out...
