Sould I dummy up my trashed receiver?

Guys, Ive been slowly coming to terms that my torch cut receiver is trashed. My plans of a semi build are crushed.
The more time I spend with it, the more of a lost cause I realize it is. (Some of you may remember the cuts right thru the bbl stud area. ) Heres my Question?.....
Im thinking about backing up the cuts with some metal stock and welding her back together as a dummy gun. (no legal worries, Ill be sure to make bolt insertion impossible) Am I committing some sin? There are no visible markings left on the receiver and it is fairly pitted. The only section worth saving would be the rear (threads are intact) but Id rather have a display gun than 100 bucks for the rear section and a bag of parts.....
This is killing me.......what should I do?
