Default Does anyone have access to a 37 Dodge Cpe?

I have to make up some repair panels, and there is really nothing left to tell me how to make them correctly. If someone has access to one, and wouldn't mind making me a few FSP, that'd be great. I'd pay for the materials needed. The trunk lid's inner structure is rusted and not holding the outer skin in the proper shape. Here are some pics of what I'm up against.....

Is it rot or damage you are trying to fix?

If rot you could use some filler backed with cardboard or something and correct the damage then take your pattern.

If damage you could correct the shape and smooth the damage then filler and pattern.

It's mostly rot and some damage,too. I don't know how the spots, that are completely gone, are supposed to look. The roll pan is rusted at the top flange, and the shape changes if you just push it slightly with your finger. No one, around here, has one of these that I can get a good look at.......

Do you have any idea if a 37 Plymouth coupe is the same? I have one of those readily available.
