Repaired front crossmember and getting discouraged.

[37 Coupe]

If I only knew two weeks ago what I would find day after day on the '31 roadster I bought,well I wouldn't have bought it and would know what to look for on a better one. Seller was a 78 year old who didn't seem to know or want to know what his dad did to the car the 50 + years he owned it. Car looks good but everyday I see another issue,this morning I see bubble gum weld on front crossmember spring U bolt area,other wise so far the frame looks pretty good even pit free.I don't think it was ever a body off restoration just a paint and upholstery deal in the late fifties to early sixties. Is the front crossmember repair pretty common? I doubt I would want to weaken the weld just to grind it down to make it disappear,sometimes wish the whole car would disappear. I should have searched even longer or paid up more to begin with. I had to have it though,thought it was better than the '30 I had when I was 18 in 1964.
