Should I try to make rocker panel or get a direct fit one? Need help

[Montecarlo79]

In the middle of the driver side rocker panel is rotted about a foot and half of length side to side, I need advice if I should try making this complicated piece or if there’s a patch panel out on the internet?

Check around for prices, but they do reproduce them.

RR quarter is gone, this car is a bondo buggy 😭, I might be able to patch this

I did the inner and outer rockers on my Regal, I bought the outers and lower patch panels for the quarters but I made my inner rocker panels. They were Goodmark replacement panels and fit very well.

I outlined what I should cut right at the end of the body line

I don't see any on Goodmark's site but maybe these will work:

I’ve searched on that same web, the thing that’s the issue is that it’s “front” lower quarter and it needs to be “rear” and when I searched up for rear it has a cut out for a marker light but my model doesn’t come with that. Big issue with finding parts for that panel so I may have to rig something up to get the 90 bends and what not for the pinch weld
