If you can match them up again, restore the seam to what it was, it should work. Fasteners and their holes are the weak area, so you may want to look at using new locations so you have a good connection, sealing the the old ones permanently. Not knowing the materials, its hard to comment on sealants, being metal, silicone is usually a good choice to seal fastener heads, even as part of a patch to seal off any old fastener holes with say a small piece of metal as a cover, then seal around that. It usually achieves a good bond, is elastic and won't be compromised for a long time and its compatible with itself. A bituminous, (asphalt) sealant like for roof repairs, in my opinion is more problematic over time, it is not as elastic and it is not compatible with silicone, so once applied, you usually have to stay with it. Check to see if this roof has been painted with the silver roof coating/paint, that would be an asphalt based product and you may not get silicon to bond to it. It sounds like you have a good handle on this and you are very wise to get the repair done immediately, so many over the years did not and the barns succumb to it eventually.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
