I'll be honest with you unless your just wanting to keep the OE hood I'd replace it with a repro unit, by the time you cut the rust out and create a patch panel or buy a patch panel and weld it in do the finish work and repaint you can start with a new hood and repaint it. That's my 2 cents worth but I do understand wanting to keep OE parts.
