Bruce Jones is doing the restoration. He ordered and cut it. He usually makes a template before he cuts any pieces for the boat due to their odd shapes.
Not sure on price but I think he said about 250 per sheet.

For anyone following this I posted in a couple other places but I need the transom drill jig for the SSM3 drives so we can re cut the transom. I will buy or rent however anyone want to do it.

Not fun at all . I hope your project goes better than mine.
Today was the first time Bruce has actually *****ed about the boat. He said taking the tank out was completely miserable.
We are hoping the duel fill idea will actually work . We are also trying to decide whether to transfer fuel from the front tank to the back or have the engines pull from either tank.

We are going to run a transfer pump from the bow tank to the main tank. Engines will only pull from main tank. We have a couple unused fittings on the main tank that we can dump fuel into. The only real thing that can be a problem is pumping too much fuel into the tank and having it blow out the vent.

thanks for kind words but I can't take credit. Bruce has spent over 2 weeks in the bilge. He sent me the pictures today of starting the bodywork because he said he had to take a couple of days off from the bilge. I'll try to find the pictures of the new coosa tiles he installed to add strength to the hull, make the engine bay drain properly and to get a nice smooth finish.
