Body Rust.

So I’m curious if they make a weld in replacement for the pictures I have attached. If so what would I look up?

    Hood hinge mount area

    Over the past several years, I've seen only one source for a ready-made replacement panel for this area.  It was being made by a one-man shop in England.  Not sure of either his name or whether he's still in business.  Check out the excellent build thread by @ConVerTT for an illustration of how to fabricate metal for the repair of this area.

    Underfloor Reinforcement Rails

    There are several sources for these rails. ZeddFindings (Kingston, ON) and ZCar Depot (USA NE) come immediately to mind.  Make sure your floors are solid enough to weld onto.

    Also one of the hatch hinges rusted out, do I need to replace the whole roof or can I just weld in metal
