Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you.  Goodluck!  Oh yeah, lose the hood scoop.

I'm glad mine doesn't need that much metal work. I found similar bondo on my old fastback, though. That was tons (literally) of fun.

Not trying to be funny but make sure your tetnus shot is current.  Lot of work but I'm sure you can do it.  Make a plan and attack in in sections.
