Howell's Sheet Metal in TX but beware -not good reviews here.When I looked it doesn't show the slots for the bumper brackets.

No one makes those repair pieces that I am aware of. That area, for those that may not recall, is unlike the coupes. Sedans have the bumper arm openings in the quarter panel.

Sounds like you should contact Newc, he might have some possible donors before sending to the scrapper.
