Extremely pitted door handle

[56sedandelivery]

So have this rear door handle for the back of my 56 SD that is extremely pitted. Tried using the muggy weld thing, bwahaha. What a joke that was for someone who never did it. Just cannot get it to work good. Anyway there are no repops for this I can find. Are there any places that do repair work on pitted pop metal parts that are not out of this world? Tried one place and they want $600 to do it. For that I will just shave the door and be done with it.
