As mentioned numerous times here.
If the vehicle had been oil undercoated. There would be no rust issue.

I do appreciate the value of oil/undercoating but that is not to my point. The OP is suggesting welding new fabricated aluminum panels to steel. These are two very different metals. Is this really doable?

Alum panels can be fabricated….but not welded to the original steel panels. Riveted or other fasteners yes, but not welded.
