This fabricator in Ozzieland makes them:

I thinks those are the rears but they make the fronts too.

The replacement front rocker/sill can be easily hand built using 1mm sheet and a wee bit of shaping.
Since this area is hidden behind the front guards, the leading edge can be more square than the OEM pressing, your choice

I bought all 4 caps from the Aussie guy. They are indeed perfect in every way. That being said, he is very proud of them ($$)

I am going to try and make mine using metal shaping techniques. I hope they turn out ok. I have access to the metal shaping equipment.

George, Watch your fingers if you are going to use one of those thumper jobs. Not sure of the name of them but I have seen one in use. They beat the metal into shape and a finger or hand if you get it in the way. They seem to work pretty well also.

Previously no metal shaping experience, It turn out pretty good for first timer.
I took about 2hours of bending, welding and banging the outcome was pretty good.
4x8 sheet metal $ 30-$40
satisfaction = Priceless,,

Are you thinking of an English Wheel?

maybe a Planishing hammer/power hammer. They are vicious.

Wow, that was nice work... much better than what I did 25yrs ago. That said, they are not seen, all they have to do is seal!

[Nissanman]

After prepping and a coat of etch primer, THEN apply seam sealer.
I like to see all the nooks, crannies and joins dosed up with primer before I seal the moisture in
Those caps also provide a lot of strength to the body which is why body filler over flywire just doesn't cut it
