When I did my door jamb repair I did it as I fit the doors. That is an area as you can see which has a lot of lead in it:

When I did some of my frame repair I also added support in some areas with notches and drain holes to ensure the areas still drain:
I also welded in some panels which helped clean up the look of the rear trunk:

On the rear tail I added a plate to make sure it is a solid area which would not be damaged if I wanted to jack there:
Just some ideas
