Structural repair and "call a pro" guidance for this region
Frame or major-component replacement pushes toward salvage/rebuilt inspection; ordinary rust patching usually is not a titling trigger, but MS and LA's official documentation is thin.
Call your state office directly if you're in MS or LA - official guidance on the conversion/inspection process is genuinely thin for both.
