You can try Black Dragon 1-800-541-8525 or www.blackdragonauto.com, that's where I got mine.

thanks but the parts that i need are not there need parts above the tail lights etc.

Sorry, in this situation you will probably have to make a template out of card board and cut the pieces out of sheet metal, that's what I had to do in the area of the battery compartment. I found the sheet metal (galvanized) and the proper thickness at Lowes of all places.

Hope this help!
