I've checked with suppliers, nos, cross canadaand it seems that no one is making them.  Hoping to find a repairable set or a metal fabricator that is able to make a pair

only the top part of the house for convertible is different and bottom part is the rotten section. Just use hard top ones to replace bottom section

The difference between sedan, hardtop and convertible wheel houses is at the top of the wheel house where the convertible top folds down. The seam between the inner and outer isn't a straight line but bends slightly towards the outside of the car to get the seam away from the folded convertible top. Also the top portion of the inner wheel well is flattened slightly so that the folded top sits lower down. A good body man will work with the regular wheel wells to make them work.
My car is undergoing exactly this as we speak.

You're going to have to buy sedan/hdtp housings and have them modified using your old ones for patterns. That's what I'm having done. I try and post some pics of where the differences are.

Here's a few pics to try and explain the differences. My bodyman will take the new wheel wells and modify them to the shape of the old ones.

First pic shows the flat top of the outer wheel well ( right side of car ). Good news is the upper support dictates the shape.

Second pic shows a new outer held just below the original to give an indication of how it needs to be modified. ( right side of car )right outer wheel well old vs new.jpgright outer wheel well old vs new.jpg

Third pic shows a top shot of the seam between the inner and outer wheel wells and how the seam bends to the outside of the car ( left side of car )left wheel well top.jpgleft wheel well top.jpg

Ted yours are still in great shape. I would leave the top section in place, cut the new one where it starts to change, over lap the old and new then cut through both old and new about a 1/2 inch from where you cut the new one and butt weld them

 That's basically what will be done.
