I think my options for a repop tailpan for a 37 coupe are pretty limited, EMS or make it myself. I did find an article in an old V-8 Times issue discussing how a fellow made a repair tail pan panel. That will be a challenge.
Again, thanks for putting this thread together. I enjoy following along.

As you are no doubt already aware of... EMS makes poopy for the most part. The pan from them might, just might, be a decent starting point. I wish you the best with this.
