Taillight sheet metal

[TxnGreg]

My 60 carryall has some rust issues around both taillights and previous owner tried to bondo the problem. I have removed most of the bondo and the base metal is mostly trashed. I am not sure if I can repair it and I am thinking replacing is the route I'll take but given the complex shape I'm a little lost as to how I'd fabricate the part from a flat sheet.
Does anyone know a company that sells patch panels for this area?
Or should I try searching for a parts vehicle?
This is my first restoration and I welcome any assistance and advice.

If I were you I'd start searching wrecking yards for '60s Suburbans. If you Google "Texas classic car wrecking yards" you'll find listings like https://www.autoevolution.com/news/h...ed-173523.html

If you post some really good pics of the issues, I think I can help. If you wish you can email me with pics.

Well that's funny, no response? A newbe thing again? Probably not getting notified. I don't get notified sometimes either.
