Default Need suggestions for hood fix

Where the hood latch (for holding the hood up), is attached to the hood, the inner hood is cracked. Has anyone run into this? What's the right "fix". Thank you.

I've seen a repair panel in either eckler's or Mid America which is basically the U-channel that runs around the hood on the underside.
Or try your hand with fiber glass.......fix it yourself, got nothing to lose, and lots cheeper.
