It's called the Header End Caps (K8756 and K8757)...and they are no longer available . Only way to get them will be from a parts cars.

Why don't you grind off rust and paint with Rustoleum paint?

Man, it sounds like you have to cut it out and weld a piece of metal there. If it's too deep, that's the only way.
