By the time you glued enough 6011 or whatever rod into the side of this old beauty to bring the dinged-up side up to grade you'd have heated the poor thing to the point where whatever original temper the top had would be long gone. Leave the poor tortured beastie alone. If you want a pretty anvil for the audience to look at, buy a new one. Or as the man sez, Bondo this one. Do NOT weld on it. Please.
