Okay, first of all since the car is a 1970, what is the VIN? If the VIN is very early. say under 500, then there is the possibility that there was no gap in there originally. After about the first 450 cars they had the gap with the plastic filler. If the panels are getting loose, or just rotting underneath then cracks can appear and rust sets in. You will need to get everything down to good metal and see what damage has to be repaired. First though, you need to know which fender & cowl version you have. Also, try and get a photo of the paint badge on the L door hinge post. The upper set of numbers is a body #, and the lower is the paint code. If too hard to photograph, just report all the numbers to me.
