72 Cutlass A-pillar repair

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to Cutlass' in general so here's my story....I recently got a 72 Cutlass 2 door, car had a vinyl top that was removed before I got it.... So I started to sand down the roof to remove old glue and discovered that both pillars near top corners of the windshield are rotted...I'm looking to redo the whole car but for now would like to concentrate on repairing these areas...I have some skills and can weld but I'm on a pretty limited budget....so my question is/are....does anyone make replacement pillars? Does anyone have any advice on doing the job?... I know I will have to remove the windshield...is it better to find some from a donor car and splice in bad sections?...do they need to be from a 2 door or can I use ones for a 4-door?....any help would be great... I've posted some pictures of area... Thanks

I have several parts cars with good A pillars & can cut out as big a piece as you need. Usually sell the whole A pillar for $75.00 each plus shipping.

Welcome to the forum. They are different from a 2 door to a 4 door which are longer and different shape on the inner areas just in case other see this posting.
