I was looking at one of my old pictures and wondered about the possibility of completely removing and replacing the old style wheel well with the new style ordered from Trailmanor. It's likely more complicated that I am assuming for now, but it looks as if there are just a few rivets that could be drilled out to remove the box shaped wheel well, then rivet in the new rounded wheel well.
This would certainly be a more expensive way to go, but if it just involves drilling out a few rivets and rivetting in a new one, this method might make the job easier for some.
This is just a thought. No more than that. But this is how innovation happens.

Why not just use sheet metal?
If you use a much longer piece on the driver's side you could continue it back to cover the plumbing (with some bracing of course).
