Make it yourself.

It is not very hard to do.

The big thing is to understand about how and why metal shrinks and when you need to use shrinkage and when to correct it. Once you figure that out all sorts of panel repair is suddenly not so hard. You can go to Smartflix.com and rent some metal working videos like shrinking magic or making a fender. There are some websites to go to like tinmantech.com where you can glean some more tidbits.

It helps to buy some new cold rolled 20 gauge metal as it is easier to work. I started out using pieces from junk hoods and such and the first time I worked with new I never went back to piece of scrap.
