Rear "T" strips between rear panel and quarters

I'm working on a '29 sedan and the car came with the rear panel out of the body and the "T" strips that goes between it and the quarters are gone. Is there a place to source these from? I really don't like the look of the body with it and it throws off the geometry. Thanks in advance
 
The area should be blasted clean, primed & painted befor the T strips are installed. If it is a Hot Rod, the T strips can be left out ant the seam TIG welded if you like a smooth look. The '29 Steel Back Fordor section I have is a factory welded unit, center and both corners, the factory weld is a real neat feature, looking forward to saving that body. :)

If you buy new "T-strips" they could be dissimilar metals, so treat them properly as they might corrode. The parts that Bratton sells appear to be made from aluminum.
 
It seems most of the new ones are aluminum, either way they're getting painted.

I thought about welding the rear panel on to smooth it out, but I want the old timey look going on for this build
 
I'll look them up in Mac's catalog. I got the Snyder's catalog today and they're steel and aluminum in there. I recommended aluminum for roadsters.
