1952 rain gutters a mess...

The rain gutters on my '52 are pretty much Swiss cheese and one is partially falling off, with nothing but paper-thin metal to weld to. I spent two hours resculpting the driver's side with filler yesterday, but it's still a mess.
Does anyone makes replacements? I checked the usual places and can't find any.
I considered just cutting them off, but I'm afraid my doors (which don't fit as well as one would hope) would leak...
Thanks

This is just a suggestion, but how about making a new set from scratch with a shrinker/stretcher. I've got a set, and it's amazing, the stuff you can fabricate, with a little practice.

It'd be an interesting project, but I don't have the tools. And I swear I've got 300 hours into the doors already. Driving me nuts.
On the other hand, my body filler sculpting is getting a lot better

O K Here's another suggestion! Call John Budd in Deerfield, Ohio at 1-330-947-2002. He has a salvage yard with a boatload of these old trucks, and I'm sure he could come up with a good set for you. Tell him Ken from Canfield sent you.
