The lower section of long hood fenders is available to weld in. However, if there is rust in that usual spot, there is more rust in the other usual spots, namely the rockers, door latch panels, front suspension pan and around the rear suspension torque tube. Another likely spot on those is the package tray at both lower glass corners. Techweenie taught me that one and how to look for it. The rest is a little easier to find especially if the car is on a lift.

I'm going to take my own WAG and say that car is very tired.
