I don't know how good his stuff is but there is a California company that sells quarters and other sheet metal.

Larry Camuso is the name. He has ads in Hemmings motor news.

Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona would be a good place to inquire about the availability of those parts.They are very proud of their parts as far as prices are.

Arizona , New Mexico , southern California , west Texas , Nevada , Utah , eastern Oregon , parts of Colorado , and parts of Washington , Idaho , and Montana.
Generally the drier the climate , the better sheetmetal and chrome parts will survive.
You might look at a National Weather Service map of average rainfall per year to get an idea of just where these areas may be https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/climateatlas/.

Make a parts wanted post, someone might have what you want. I got quarter panel patches from southern California from a member on this board.
