Default Looking for a donor dash piece

Anybody got a Camaro their using strickly for parts or to get patch pieces from? Cannot find anything local. I am looking for a piece of the metal dash top on the passenger side of my 69 Camaro. See picture. I need maybe 6" to have some to play with. Spot is maybe 2". I guess I could try to make a piece, but with the compound curves and bend I thought I might try here first. I'm not a metal fab guy either. I don't need the whole dash top as the rest is fine. Let me know. Thanks.

Its not that hard of patch to make out of a piece of sheet metal. Make the window part first with the curve and then a pie shaped part for the dash top. Its about a 2 hr job. if that.

Mr. Hale is right about the patch. The other option though if you're not comfortable with that is to buy a dash top(they're not very expensive) and section out what you need.
