I am in the home stretch of a 1976 911 Turbo Carrera restoration, all mechanicals done, etc, I am now on the last step, paint. The car was about to go into the paint booth when in taking everything down to bare metal, they (the group doing the paint/body work) found the bad pitted black rust right below the rear window. The issue is they cannot save the part (way too far gone) and as all of you know that rail below the rear window is actually a part that wraps around and includes the top. So, I am looking to see if anyone has or knows anyone that has a parts car or wrecked car that would be willing to cut out the rail below the rear window. I have shown in my picture attached below (not my car), but shows what I need well, the section I need. As I understand it, it does not have to be a turbo. Any 911 coupe from 1973 - 1983 should be the same here. The paint and body group is looking as am I, we have called about 20 companies like DC Auto, Restoration design, etc., and cannot find a solution. Thx in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer!! Always appreciated!!

FYI to all - issue closed and part found. I was not able to find the part at any of the traditional sources, a post on the 912 Registry bulletin board system.
Thx to all - Rennlist is a GREAT source for problem solving of all kind!!
