diggin into hell, Rustoration: You have to be strong Options

Hi guys,
look what i found under the fender. The PO did some very fine work to repair the hell hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Jus' in time my man! I was jus' 'bout to post this question:

I'm looking to get the inner wheelhouse sheetmetal panel to "sandwhich" flush. It's jacked up some an' the wheel is off. Looking at it there seems to be several things in the way. These or this would be the bracket for the rear suspension console (ear) it seems? It creats a "hump", I believe Brad called it "scab" metal??? Is this thing (growth, "what not") spot welded in or something??? The controling arm goes from the hole in the ear towards the outside to the fender. This is also where the tiny bracket (that little piece of flat metal) from the fender to this area connects. If you look you see it creats a "hump" for lack of a better word. If someone has put the wheelhouse as a solid piece flush I believe they understand my convoluted question.
The "ear" will have to come off as well, so this might be that whole section. I don't know. Also can one put the "ear" on without cutting the engine shelf?

Sorry no images (the irony here is that I've made a living for more than a quarter of a century in photography but the only camera I currently possess is a 4x5 'n' that won't do for this.).

However, that hump is the "ear" isn't it??? Can you slid up the ear (support console) without cutting into the engine shelf??? Plus no need for pics there they are, thanks.
