Jack point replacement and paint matching Options

[Tdskip]

Good morning gentlemen, hope everybody’s having a good week. Just doing some planning here on the blue 74 that is currently in storage. It’s a original Southern California car, been off the road for a very long time but is quite solid except for the passenger side Jack point as shown in the pictures below.

There was a repair made here but it’s not to proper standard and I am planning on addressing it. The door gaps are still perfect, so I don’t think the structure overall is weak, this just needs a more proper repair.

I have the donor metal from car that was written off so I think I’m “just” looking at bracing the car to protect my gaps and then getting good weld penetration to complete the repair. Yes/no/maybe?

The paint will have to be touched up of course, and while this is not a visible part of the car if I’m going through this level of effort it would be nice to have it match. It looks like it was a custom paint that I am assuming is going to require me bringing a sample to a shop and then getting as good of a match as possible? Think a good paint shop will be able to get close in match?

Thanks!
