Looking for 1973 dodge dart swinger roof

My swinger suffered some major rust from a cursed vynl top.

I am looking for a replacement roof and or at least roof skin. As well as rear window lower seat (not sure what to call that area but the corner to corner of bottom window rail, and up the sides a little)

I have looked online but it seems like the only sell roof skins for B body more saught after mopars.

Anyone know where I should start looking for some good replacement metal? I've asked around on craigslist and no one really wants me to chop up their part out cars.

I'm not 18 yet so I have trouble getting my way into our local pick-a-part/junkyard. Don't really want to wait 8 months to get a roof but whatever it takes i guess.

Thanks!

Well... It dont leak anymore... It is still in primer sealer... Going to paint the whole car flat black when I get around to it....
I was going to do it in Carbon Fiber. However after talking to a few folks, I decided to go Fiber Glass Matt to allow for some movement...

I think it turned out great.... It's not show quality, But then I didnt work that hard at it ether.. I might add, That all the doors closes and all the glass still fits...
