Yeah I just happened to email them last week, they still do the skins, at $385 each, I know it's not the bottom, but it's an option to build from there. I have the same issue, bottom is stuffed,

Any aftermarket repair panel always requires a little massage

Good to see you cut the flange off and did a butt weld. I didn't like the idea of it, while much easier I reckon its dodgy. Did you manage to weld it all with a mig without any warpage
