I have to move one of my hatch ribs becase of engine clearance issues. From the looks of it, when the hatch was built they broomed on a half inch of gelcoat. Can I re glass the rib directly to the gelcoat, or do I need to keep grinding until I get down to the bare glass?

You need to grind untill you expose the laminate, that is where you want your glass everything else is just going along for the ride.
