What would you do to these windshield channel corners?

[TT from NH]

I am looking for advice from those who have gone before me (@eldubb440 I'm looking at you) on how best to address the windshield lower channel corners on my '68 Coronet. The driver's side looks like it's been previously repaired using lead. What would you do?

Check YouTube videos on how to apply lead and do it yourself.
I've always MIG welded but lead does have a place too.

That looks like the factory lead filler? I have always removed the lead out of those areas and mig welded the joints solid.

MIG
Cut out all the bad metal. Take your time and bend up a patch to weld in.

Base of the a pillar is one of several places the factory used lead. That said I agree with earlier post. Make a patch panel and weld it

 

[eldubb440]

as stated above...... I remove the lead, repair the metal, and weld it solid...... I like Marine Tex grey for a base filler over my welds

Buy a sheet metal shrinker and stretcher fab up some replacement pieces using the old cut out metal as templates and weld in all new metal is the best way to go.

Thanks for all your replies. I shall proceed as you all suggested (i.e., cut, fabricate, and weld.) Thanks!

Make sure to melt ALL of that old solder out first, otherwise welding will be impossible.
