Trunk Area Needs Work!

Hey guys. I have a 1970 Cutlass S 350 Rallye that I'm trying to restore. The trunk area is in bad shape. Other than a miracle, I need parts from a donor car. Mainly the rear package tray, the metal piece which is attached to the wheel well which stabilizes the rear package tray, and trunk gutters all along the seal of the trunk. Everything else I should be able to purchase online or have fabricated. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are some pix. The metal right under the bottom edge of the glass is junk, but the gutter areas look pretty good. The bottom part is a bit crusty & beat up, but does not look to be rusted through. That part may be to rough for you to work with.
Let me know what you think. I can cut anything you may need & ship it.
Thanks.

Yea, that's pretty much what my car looks like. How about your trunk lid? Is it salvageable? What about the metal that goes all around the windshield (which includes the little tabs for the window clips)?

Trunk lid is junk. Here are a couple cars with decent to nice windshield areas. Green one is the best by far & looks really nice. Yellow car is a Rallye, bottom area is a little crusty, with a couple small holes maybe?

I have two more '72 Cutlass parts cars I have yet to pick up. One of them has a nice package tray/lower rear window area. I have not seen the cars up close yet so I can't say for sure how nice it is or get pix yet.
