Im not sure how I should take care of this, also if I took it to a body shop how much do you think it would be?

If it matters I already have the hood hinges

Those are your rear inner fender aprons that have the hood hinge mount points. The only correct way to fix those are to cut them out and weld in patch panels. (or replace the entire panel) You buy new aprons from places like Texas Mustang Parts and then cut out the old part and weld in the new. They cost about 50 bucks per side.
