Hi Larry, thanks hope all is well with you also. It is a little tedious and some experience and skill is needed for best results. Some other sheet metal panels also tie into and are welded to this crossmember also. Some paint damage will occur during removal or during the re-welding process. Most likely removal of the bumper, hood, radiator and grille will be best. Cut, trim and grind the old rust damaged cross member from the car. Carefully peel away any sheet metal connected to the old crossmember. The two halves of the crossmember can be spot-welded together as original or simulate the spot welds with plug welds which are ground down flat. Avoid solid bead welding along the seam if you want best looking results. Be sure to test install before you weld anything. Use some sheet metal screws to hold the two halves together temporarily and do test installations. When everything is clean and fitted, you can remove it one last time and spot or plug weld the two halves together. Grind smooth all welds then weld the crossmember into place. Tie in all the other sheet metal. It is best to use a good rust primer on the inside of the crossmember before you weld it together even though you will have to grind to-be welded areas to bare metal before welding.
