Need Help 85 Z28 T Tops resto info needed

My camaro was my first car and several years ago I got rear ended by some jack *** with no insurance so I of course was the one that go screwed. That makes sense right???? Well it damaged the rear clip the fender and bumper are damaged and the trunk is dented inward. I would love to restore my baby to new but I am having a problem. The rear fender clip or roof clip or whatever it is called is rather difficult to find. I don't want to cannibalize another car for this part I want all new sheet metal and I can't find it anywhere. The bumper and trunk are no problem to find but the piece that includes the two rear fenders and the small roof strip between the hatch and the t tops is evading my efforts. If anyone happens to know a good place to find this item please reply to this. And if someone out there knows more than me and knows that the part I am looking for is only going to be found on a junk yard car please let me know that as well. Thanks in advance for any responses.

You wont find that for sale anywhere. The only way to replace the 2 rear quarters and roof will be to cut it out of another car and weld it into yours.
