I wish you were more clear on what you think Shaun.

Tell it like it is Hybrid, they are just old cars, no need for that stuff now, build so they look good, and leave to junk off them.

Well as it turned out they were easy to find. A place I'd seen on the web months ago had them.
Colorado Mustang Specialists, probably one of the biggest Mustang wreckers.
Said they sell a fair few of them. Have to post via my forwarders in LA though. But - problem solved!

I have to agree Shaun, if I was building a resto mod I'd leave them off, cleaner is always better I reckon.
But being a Bullitt car there's only one way to do it.
And as it is my car had them from new anyway! (albeit the round ended ones, which look even worse IMHO).

Is there a Cougar that has the same hole or marker in the quarter panel? I've had a lot of luck with West Coast Classic Cougars for that sort of thing.

Anyway they arrived last week. Cost me $89 USD inc. postage to my LA forwarder.
Were much bigger than this, I've just trimmed them down with a 10mm border, ready to blast and fit etc.

"Colorado Mustang Specialities" if anyone wants to know.
HUGE place, must be hundreds of old Mustangs there. Have a website and responded to my emails OK.

So if you need something that's not available from SD etc, might be worth a call...

Yup tried him months back, he had nothing like that.
And as I said I've got them now. Thanks anyway.
