Can I buy Rear inner fender patch panels anywhere?

I have fixed horrible rot on a few FB's now but the last time was probably 7 or 8 years ago. Nobody that I could find made rear patch panels, so I made my own, but it's a lot of time and work.

Does anyone make them now? The car I'm restoring needs both of the spot welded on inner fender pieces (beside the storage bins) and if I could buy the suspension reinforcement side piece that would save me some time too.

Here's the area of what I'm talking about:




The upper and lower panel are the pieces I'm looking for.

I wonder if wheelhouse panels for early Mustangs could be made to work. They're readily available and relatively cheap.
