73 Bronco

Ok here is the point I am at and the questions I have.

First can crossmembers be repaired as I have 2 that either need repaired or replaced, kinda hopping I can repair them since it is such a big job to pull them out and replace them.

The first one is the 2nd set of body mounts cross member under the feet of the driver and passanger it has a crease only on the drivers side right around the body mount but the edges are not creased.[ATTACH=CONFIG]8004[/ATTACH]

The Second is the crossmember under the front part of the seat platform and under the passangers floor pan, it has some rust and part of the middle of it close to the passanger rocker panel is rusted out.[ATTACH=CONFIG]8003[/ATTACH]

The next thing I need some advice on is how to support the dash area of the front as it doesn't have the front clip on to support its self with the front body mounts.

The next question I have is should I replace any cross members I need to replace and stop and have the body blasted or should I remove all the bad sheet metal then have the body blasted?

thanks for the help and advice
