My 68 Charger sat outside with a vinyl top for years...and now needs an a pillar patch, roof skin, etc. This lower support is pitted and thin for sure on mine. I have another I cut out of a 70 RR hardtop donor, but it’s also a bit rusty. Does anyone repop these? What is this even called? They have been crusted and thin on a few cars.

The short answer is "no" not anything repopped as far as I know... but I think
AMD makes a repo roof skin for the B-body models, not sure if the charger skin is available for them. I call it an upper windshield front roof section.
Is the pic your showing.. is that donor section you cutoff at the salvage/ junkyard? We have done roof repair on the underside/ and topside of
mopar cars before.. and the best thing to do with your donor piece, is to take that section to have it dipped (acid bath or whatever you want to call it)
so it will eat the rust inside and out, then when its clean, you will be able to see the thin area's on it. Fix it, fabricate new pieces and weld them in, grind, finish them off, and no one will ever know it. Note: Depending on the circumstances.... I will usually, blow them out with compressed air, then get
some self etch primer and take some good tape, masking, duct tape, etc. and put tape over all the open holes so it is sealed up tight, leaving one
smaller hole open, then pour in some etch primer, block that hole tight, then
get a friend to help you turn it upside down, end to end, and anway you like, and the primer will adhere to anything it comes in contact with. Pour out any remaining primer, let her dry for a day or so.. then its time to go to work!
