Cut the stupid looking "ears" off. Wire wheeled the general area around it with an aggressive wire wheel to rid it of scale rust and dirt, then a quick shot of rustoleum primer. Looking much better IHMO. I will probably leave the one strengthening rib on the left side, but may still cut and grind off that nub sticking out on the lower corner on the left side.
