IML: 1964-1966 convertible parade bood covers

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

My 1966 Convertible has 2 "pretty good" plastic covers
for the top when it is retracted.

There are a pair of marginal ones at Doc's, and
somebody wrote into the club website seeking a pair.  

I've been sitting on the "doc" set because I've been
paying attention to other things, but it seems that
the time is right to ask the combined resources here:

These are relatively scarce, and I suspect that there
are a few cars out there without the covers in show
condition.  

Does anyone here (George Laurie?) have a line on
injection-molding of plastics regarding reproducing
these?  They are not the rigid plastic that lenses
are, but are flexible sheet plastic.

Does anyone here have upholstery skills that would
permit fabrication of the soft cover that goes between
them?

I am willing to lend what I have to this effort if
there is energy for it, or will toss them out for
grabs on ebay (don't get excited till you see what
we're actually talking about - they ARE marginal).

If you have a need for a repro set of these, please
let us know?  

I suppose that reproduction costs "could" go into the
hundreds of dollars, so let's say that the person who
redoes them might charge $400 for the pair until we
hear otherwise.  Who would be interested in such a situation?
