Default need help finding parts for 72

My brother purchased a 72 Corvette about 2 years ago and absolutly loves the car. This spring a teenager ran a stop sign and smashed in the rear end of his car pretty good. He is doing most of the body work himself and has the sides replaced. He needs a piece off of the trunk area from about the fuel tank filler on back. Does anyone know of a place he can get a complete rear clip or maybe just the area he needs? He lives in eastern Nebraska. there used to be a Corvette place in Omaha (I bought my 84 from them) but appearantly they are now out of business. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

A corvette junkyard would be a good place to get a rear clip for cheap. There are several that you can order from online and have the parts shipped to you. Here is a link to one I can think of: http://www.justcorvettes.com
