Default Cowl (lower) patch

The lower fender mount on the cowl is rotted out on my car. On another site (2doorpost.com), there's a guy patching in this piece. It's been verified that Chev and Pontiac share the same outer cowl section for 65-66 B-Body. Perhaps Buick and Olds are the same as well. I'm looking for a rust free piece like this off a donor car for both sides. It doesn't need to include the hinge area. If you know of something like this, I need it. Like I stated, Chev or Pontiac will work, and it's small enough to box up and mail.

I will see whats left of a 66 4 door car we have at work that has been pretty chopped up for parts already. Might be there still.

Here's some pics showing exactly what I'm looking for. I need a clean lower fender mount for both sides. Above the mount, there is a double layer of steel. OK to cut higher for some extra material.

Looks like you could just hand form the patches if you had to.
