The crossmembers can be repaired or replaced. You could use donor metal on them if it is good, but with it this far apart, you might want to go with new.
The body should have been braced prior to disassembly. At this point, I'd get some measurements off of a good body and try to get it square/straight and then tack braces onto it as needed to keep it from moving so that you can put it back together properly. You'll want to spend a lot of time on this as you can't easily fix fitment issues once it is all back together. If you aren't going to run a top or doors this isn't very critical. Otherwise it is very important.
I'd remove all the bad metal before blasting. No point in cleaning up bad areas that will just be removed anyway.
