Default 68 shock tower replace?

Well, I finally got a good look at the passenger side shock tower. It's been welded right where someone would cut holes to lube the upper control arm. Also, it looks like a crack was welded, and the inside plate.

What I would like to find out is your opinion. Replace or recheck and reweld? Anyone ever see a step by step procedure for this? You've all been pretty good about suggesting a rebuild guide, are there measurements in there for this?

Thanks! JJ
