My rusted longs, experts chime in..., rusted longs Options

Hey all, I'm one year into owning my 73. I knew it had some rust, but I spent my first summer of ownership in denial so that I could focus on enjoying driving the car. Now that spring is approaching, I decided to go in and see just how bad things are. My first question is that my car doesn't have jack points, I assume that the po removed them. Second is the recommended repair approach. Both longs are solid from the rear until they get to the jack point area, then they are solid again up to the front. The passenger side also has rust at the very front. I'm thinking I can clean things up and weld in the Brad Mayeur kit. Thoughts? Comments?

I hate D-con! I'm cutting in to see how bad things are. Here is the front end of the passenger side. solid metal from just in front of the jack post all the way up to just behind the extra metal piece behind the front wheel. That was toast so I cut it out to see what was behind it. Not too bad, rusted through in the corner but the area is small everything else around it is solid. Then I saw the green pellets and I started to dig with a screwdriver. Out came a waterfall of D-con that piled up on the floor, thanks to the PO and his pet mice!
