Front chassis rail/member repair

Hi guys,

Has anyone here repaired/replaced both of these front rails? Mine has a small amount of rust (seen just in front of the radius arm mount), but I'm sure when I cut the side open, there's going to be a lot more. I'd like to replace with something stronger.
Is removal a straight forward process? I'm going to make a jig that connects to the strut towers to use as alignment for the cross member before I remove so it all goes back the way it should. Was also thinking about using 2mm plate to remake the rails, as this seems to be a common rusted/damaged area.

Thanks.
