NJS Makino track to road conversion...possible

Is it possible to spread the frame from 110 to 126, and then weld or jbweld a rear derailleur hanger on it? Also, tack weld some cable guides and things? What are your thoughts? I know some of you hate the idea, but i see great vintage bikes ruined for fixed gear conversions all the time...so i guess doing the opposite should be ok too.

Has anyone ever attempted this? I know Makino and Nagasawa make some nice road frames, but they are rare and usually custom. Don't have the money for that route at the moment, but i have a crispy makino njs track frame which fits me so that'll have to do.
