This problem is common on the left sibe of the car where the exhaust passes close to the frame we have sucessfully made patterns from cardboard and had them cut out of 11 gauge steel with a plasma cutter for relatively short money and mig welded them in place. we boxed in all three sides but this was overkill and if you can weld it up yourself it's well worth it. your damage looks pretty isolated.good luck
