Back at this and ran into some unexpected issues. There was a little blister on the GTO hood, so I hit it with a DA. I found a round spot of rust-out, where the adhesive between the hood and inner structure held moisture. I've got the rust drilled out to a round 5/8 hole and a round patch made. I cut a section of the inner structure so I could get to the repair better. Would the final repair look better if I butt weld it from underneath or on top?
