Anyone know what seller these quarter panels came from originally? I googled around and can’t match them up visually to anything from cool cruisers, SOR, etc. They are for sale.

No clue, maybe home/shop made judging by the tack in curve sections. What are they asking for them in pre rusted condition?

Oh interesting thought. I picked them up in a parts haul so no idea where they came from originally.
I have watched a ton of vids on youtube about body work. Some guy epoxy cast a 2" wide mold on one those angled panel section on like an old Dodge Dart door along the window base. Next he then cast it in like steel using the mold as the pattern. Next he used it as the mandrel in like a air hammer press to form sheet metal 1" at a time making the patch like 2' long - it made a new section that follow the original door lines perfectly.
There are some really talented metal workers out there.

That is absolutely wild. Now that you mention it, I saw a video of a guy who used this mechanical device that could duplicate something and enlarge it at the same time. Guy 3d printed some part at quarter scale, then traced it with the device and it machined the part at full size.
