Dave, I worked on one of this vintage when I was up in Alberta.

That car was owned and run in "Road Salt Central", Ottowa, Ontario.

The damage was virtually IDENTICAL to what you picture, and as well, some bunyack had performed similar "repairs",...right down to and including the roofing tar.
Hell man, maybe the same shop ?

......anyway, suitably moused together and splash job painted, the car was sold to a VERY naive Albertan.

The insurmountable ( for me, anyway) problems that I hit with that job were what inspired me to inquire as to just where the hell one STARTS to measure / survey for aligning / re aligning. I dodged the bullet and told the owner that he needed somebody far more qualified in bodywork, just a dumb welder, etc.

I have confidence that you will get this thing done right, but you really have your work cut out for ya' on this one, no ?
