I have done this a couple of times and welding is the only viable option (though I have heard of bolts being used)
thing is if not done properly the heat can malform the outer skin so welders must keep it cool with wet rags or equivalent
first effort involved spacing of large washers at key points and welding directly to underside this lasted about three years but fatigued over time and eventually gave way
second time done properly was welding of the complete broken areas and use of sheet metal where necessary - takes more effort, time and skill but well worth it
maybe an hours worth of work or so - hood must come off
