Looks like she's gonna need a bunch of hours of metal massaging. No panel replacement plans since it is so rust free, just a whole lotta torch, hammer and dolly work in the future.

Look at photos 2 and 3. Looks like an old "Lite Brite"
Steve, wow... that's pretty bad.

I would think it might be easier to just cut out the tortured section and butt-weld in a new piece. You could get the metal you need from any '70 - '81 quarter since the damaged area doesn't extend into the areas that were different amongst the years.
