I started tearing my driver's side apart and I'm ot sure that I can save the lock pillar that was smashed in when my car was hit. I can't seem to find it in any of my mustang mags, NPD, paddock, MU, etc. Is my only option to find another coupe like a parts car? I'll post pics of the problem later.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the part on the door or the unibody. There is a repair for the door. Let us know.

I should have specified what it was. It's the part on the unibody. It looks like I can buy any piece of sheetmetal made for the car except this. I'd like to think someone is making these or else I'll just track down a rusted junker somewhere. I have pics of the carnage but can't get to them until later. I pretty much need the whole thing.

The door is another issue. I'm leaning towards buying an original used door or getting a parts car with good doors, because I have yet to hear anything good about repros.

I have never seen that part so you will probably have to cut it out of a donor car and weld it in.

OK thanks Dave. I wonder why this part isn't made? To clear up exactly what I need here is a pic. Does anybody have a junker they would mind parting with?
