Have you made any progress on your doors yet? I'm about ready to tackle that project. Mine are in slightly worse shape than yours. The issue there is that the weatherstrip holder sits in water that collects there. On mine there was about 2" total of the the metal weatherstrip holder left on both doors. The inner door panel is about like swiss cheese for much of the length as well. I see that Jim Carter sells patch panels that look like they got up to the first bend in the inner panel (although currently on backorder), and there are others that go up to the hinge access panel, so there are choices there. I may go for the JC patches instead of trying to bend up my own, although that wouldn't be that hard.
If you're handy at welding, you could cut the seam off (a lot of mine is already gone), and weld along the edge of the outer and inner panels and grind it smooth, or even plug weld the inner patch to the outer skin. I'm contemplating cutting the rust away so the sandblaster can get to the inside of the outer panel to rid that of rust.
