Having said that, the answer to your replacement parts query must be ‘no’.
The global supply of Pantera body parts is critically low and together we MUST preserve them for people who really need them. Sadly, some bonehead in a Toyota SUV will make a left turn in front of a Pantera some day, and that car will get comprehensively smashed. That guy will NEED the parts you are asking about, so it would be shameful to prevent that car from living again if your issues could be sorted out by a talented body man committed to straightening your wrinkled panels.
For sure it will be much less expensive to repair your panels, given the necessarily prohibitive cost of procuring such rare replacements, so that should be an incentive too.
If you want a reference, there is a body shop in Ukiah, Northern California (on your way home?) that has started specializing in just those sorts of repairs to Panteras. The owner is a club member named Joe Golden who bought three Panteras in the last few months Including #1992, the green ’71 that had been wrecked on both ends.

That car is now. perfectly straight and heading to paint with NO replacement panels needed.
They have the SKEELS you need and are looking to make a name for themselves in the Pantera community. They have invested in fabricating chassis jigs etc to ensure the car is completely straight when they are done with it.
