Default Inner Rear 1/4 panels?

I dont know the proper name, but they are the inner panels spotwelded to the outer skin and inner structure, with the rubber drain plugs in them. The driver side is practically gone. Does anyone reproduce these panels?

Thanks.

Looks like this part must be custom made as i cannot find a new one anywhere. What gauge steel is this thing?

I believe he's talking about the inner part of the lower quarter. They commonly rot. You would probably have to make a patch. Not like it will be visible so I doesn't need to be perfect.

Looks like it's connected to a lot. I would buy a replacement outer and just weld a piece of sheet to the inner, bent accordingly.

That would be the part. Thanks. Nobody reproduces that, then? I might have an old fender in the shed i can cut from. Somewhere. And making it perfect shouldnt be an issue. I like detail work. Might even hammer in those recesses to copy the original. We shall see.
