Thanks for the advise, I am on the T34 list but thought I would get a better response from the T3 List. I know of a Square Back I will obtain for parts, great looking car and 100% original. The poor thing has rot from the attaching points through the rockers. The pans are new (cheap ones) for the Type 14. I cut out the entire right side except for the edge that attaches to the body. I then braced the outside edge and began shaping the Type 14 pan. I have been working with metal all my life and with a lot of heat, LARGE hammers and huge anvil they are taking shape. I am not that good but I know of no one who would even attempt this repair. Nor do I think I could afford to pay for a weeks worth of labor. So far one week = one pan tack welded into place.
