71 Cutlass Conv Questions

I have a 71 Cutlass Conv that was hit in rear drivers side and I need replacement sheetmetal.

Does anyone know of a company that makes replacement tail panel section ?

Also rear main frame damaged on drivers side. Are all Cutlass frames the same say from rear drivers wheel back ? I know there is a different convertable frame of course but are all A body frames the same in back?

For a trunk pan and drop offs what year and models can I use, are A body trunks all the same?

Thanks

Thanks guys that replied. Frame is bent in more than one place for sure? I need to get a new frame and tub or switch to a hard top conversion. Could fix but major sheetmetal work. Any leads on a dry frame and or tub would be great.

Wow... I believe Carshine Bob on this site had a convertible frame at Jackson Mi. He may still have it. It wouldn't be too far from you in Wisconsin.
