Default 1975 Grandville quarter panel patch interchange

I'm restoring a 75 Grandville convertible for a customer. There is rust in the quarters ahead of the rear wheel on both sides. Obviously there are no panels reproduced for the Grandville, I'm wondering what other B bodies would be close to the same shape.

Thanks for the help!
John

None are a drop-in replacement. Body contour lines are different on all the lines.

And I'm saying no, none of them are really any closer than another. You might have better luck with the Chevrolet version. Both Buick and Olds flare out considerably more than a Pontiac does in that area.
