My 94 roll over truck's passenger rear inner fender well didn't straighten/flaten out to my satisfaction. I want to cut out the bent areas and rivet in new metal. I would prefer to find a trashed tub and cut the passenger rear out of it.
Otherwise my options are to search for someone with a large sheet metal brake and see what can be done.
Does anyone know of a damaged tub that may have the sacrificial inner wheel well or know of someone who can/would make me one ?

Can you post pictures of what you need repaired. That would help us.

basically the entire "L" shaped wheel well from the front roll bar attachment point to the rear corner where the wires for the tailight come up through the gromet. My thought was to cut it off about 3/8 of an inch above the rear floor level. This part is spot welded to the exterior panels and for that reason a used panel may not be practical. Scorpion off road in the UK makes "bed liner panels" out of 5 bar that would be nice. John C tried to get them for me last month and no go.
