55 Olds roof patches

So, my 2 door post, with it's perfect rust free body and almost NOS condition fenders, had 2 mouse nests in the roof structure where the sun visors mount. As a result, the nest and urine rotted away these two corners on the inside -

If I get no leads, I'll try to fab something, but if someone has a 54 - 56 sedan parts car that they're willing to cut these two pieces out of, I'd be happy to send you some $$.

See attached photo for what I'd need (driver and passenger) highlighted in red

I'm not familiar enough with this vintage, but I've got a 4 door post parts car if the areas were the same shape. The previous owner cut the dash area out, but I think the top of the windshield channel is still there. Let me know if you'd like me to take pictures of it. Attached below is an old thread, but I've not had time to do much with the car yet except pull some of the trim. John

I'm looking at this from the drivers seat so its a different angle than what you took. If this looks correct I'd be willing to cut them out for you. This is on a 1955 4 door post car.
