[MV] WC-53 body work

Hello,
I'm looking for the best way to repair a door problem on my 42
WC-53. The right hand door frame is broke and seperating at both bottom
corners. At the back the weld is seperated about a quarter of an inch and
at the front the bottom has dropped about 1/2 inch and the firewall appears
to have moved about 1/2 inch forward. I am looking for the best way to
pull the bottom of the door frame together so that I can reweld it where it
belongs. On other Power wagons that I have looked at there is a seam in
the body below each bottom corner of the door on my WC-53 it is not there.
I'm guessing at this but would these two vertical seams allow some flex in
the body and if they are not there would this be what broke the welds at
the bottom corners of the door?
Could anybody point me in the right direction on this.

Also could anyone tell me if issue number 79 of Army Motors is out? I
haven't seen one since late January.

Thanks for the help!
