My first choice would be another section of room from a donor '62. I do not think you can buy this piece new anywhere.

I am no body man but that looks fixable to me. Seams a lot easier.

I have another one but its in the same condition because this project has been going for 16 or 17 years. My dad gave it to me a year ago and im just now started to do some work on it. Heres a look with the roof off.

Alot of work ahead but its all rust issues not much body work.

OHHHH!!!!!!! No I see said the blind man!!!!!!!!!!!

Making a patch would be allot easier than looking for a patch panel in my opinion.
Only other thing I could suggest is using a different area of the donor roof, same bend.

I looked and looked and didnt find one so ill just weld them and grind them down. I started on the inner part filling in holes and grinding them down. After I get done im going to prep and por15 the two roof sections and put them back together and start on the rocker panels.
