Default Doers any one make a repair panel for the bottom of a '40 trunk lid

I was able to find one for the '38 Plymouth I had done several years ago (see picture)... sooo... I'm thinking that finding one for a '40 Ford coupe should be easy! ...wrong!! Sure... you can find complete $1500 lids, but no repair panels?

The lower edge is a compound curve and difficult to home fabricate...

Is there such a panel?

I've added pics of my trunk lid, the inside is rather mangled with a lot of brazing rod and patches, the outside is missing the fold and the rounded edge on the bottom...

included a progress picture...
