Plasma torch. Steel. Welder.
Since you're asking for advice, I'm guessing this is not a DIY job for you, so I'd add to that list "Auto Frame & Body Shop".
With as much wrong with the car as you say, before going to a body shop to have this fixed, I'd recommend you add up what it will cost to fix everything, then compare to what a much better condition used Bonneville costs. Believe it or not, sometimes you can actually buy a car that isn't a worthless pile of rusting money pit.

This may not be as bad as a plasma cutter. Badnit had good luck in replacing his.

Looks like you are asking Badnit for the part numbers... In that body shop..I'm surprised you don't have the detailed drawings and availablitiy to the part numbers easier than most of us.
Once you do get the numbers from any source..please do list them for future searches.
