I'll second nyoffroad, check with your local body shops to see where they get their panels. I was looking for some repair panels and what started off as $28 parts with $110 shipping, ended up being $26 parts and a few miles travel to a local warehouse.

Welcome to the site. I'm also displaced, though not as far. Grew up on the NW side of CC, Annaville, & Calallen.

Nice haul !!! Glad to hear y'all made it back safe & without any problems. How was the ride?

Welcome to the forum. You'll find quite a few folks in the Houston area and even more in the surrounding towns. You've been warned......the OD disorder continues!
