Default whats that part called ?

On my 1974 vette, i need the sheet metal part that goes under the hood surround, above the headlight doors. the horn and the headlight vaccuum pods hang on it, and it bolts to the inner fenders. it goes all the way across the front, just ahead of the hood its not the actual core support , but i don't know what its called or where to get that piece . mine is almost rusted completely away. can someone point me to a good identification, and source for this piece , thanks,
Tony

Headlight reinforcement. It is bonded to the underside of the hood surround panel.
