It would be cheaper to buy one off ebay. They get listed every now and then.

Ever thought about polishing it yourself?
It's not that hard to do.

I wrote this for someone to post on there website 3yrs ago.
http://darkside351.tripod.com/mustang50world/id19.html

I've done SOME POLISHING http://www.netsnapshot.com/pcw/buildalbum-cgi?ACCOUNT=1924&KEY=2

Actually I polished all of this for about $100-$120



And this is what it looked like 2 yrs ago . I've since changed a lot of things,it's looks much cleaner now.
Sorry I don't have any recent pics. It's the best i can do for right now.

That why I say it’s not that hard to do. IT'S just time consuming. I think I spent about 18-20 hrs to do mine.

I decided to take the main wire harness that were tucked up under the pinch weld and reroute it so the can not be seen at all. I hide the brake lines, there not route under the pinch either any more. Welded up the hole the main harness ran through; have the car painted along with the engine bay and added a few more chrome accessories. Basically just cleaned things up.
