Down where that is cracking I would bet that car had a quarter put on at one time. You could bild a new drip rail, or find a good shop and just cut them off and weld it back up.

Do you know how to use a welder? Thats were id start. Drip rails can be fabed and welded in place. Here are some pics of my C pillar repair.

wow thanks for the pictures. When it comes to body stuff Im gonna leave that to the professionals. what is the pictures of the vise grips for? is there significance to them? are they special to do the job?

Those are to flange the edge of your patch so the existing metal overlaps the patch. Notice how the jaws have a small step up in them.
