Replacement sheet metal

Hi everyone, I was curious if they reproduce the trunk floor section that is between inner wheel wells? I am not sure the name but the section but its where a convertible pump would go if it were convertible but this isn't a conv. its for a 1970 cutlass. The upper area that the inner wheel house is attached where rust has been known to be.
Who makes the best stuff and the hard to find stuff? or is it all the same (Goodmark, Fusick, Year One, OPGI, Tamraz) made in CHINA.

Thanks

Could you take the section from a hardtop car and trim it to fit your convertible? I know this area doesn't rust as often on the hardtop, and you might be able to find a used part that's good OEM steel. Just a thought.

Is the panel you need the area over the rear end in this picture? This trunk floor was swiss cheese, but the panel over the rear ends wasn't bad. I'm thinking Scott in Indiana or Bob down in Florida might have a good panel and not be too bad on shipping. John

That is the area I'm talking about and it would be for a hard top. I see some trunk floor sections come up a bit but not sure how far?
Does a floor pan and trunk pan cover everything like this area if you got both?
Theres a lot of dealers but not sure about manufacturers? just trying to figure the best quality and selection. The other option I guess would be from a doner car like 2blu442 says?
Thx

i have never seen just that section reproduced.to get it you need the whole trunk floor.i bought a full floor for my 66 chevelle.it is from amd and they "supposedly" have them made from their own tooling.either way it fit like a glove.if nothing else you could buy one and just cut out the piece you want.doing the whole floor is quite a project.as i had to jack the body up about 6 inches in the back to slide it in.
