'65 Valiant Convertible: Mostly ignored for over 20 years

I have 2 convertible top frames for this car. The one IN the car is the worst of the 2 but I decided to repair it anyway.

Just a matter of cutting back until I found solid metal, then making a patch to fill the hole.

This area is hidden under the convertible top. I am going to prep, prime and paint it though, just to reduce the risk of future corrosion.
