Ideally, you may be able to obtain it (or one similar) as a parts car for your restoration adventure.

If you need a part from this car you can contact one of the 46 parts pullers that work this yard by clicking on parts wanted tab in this link.

Nice 110 body you have there. I had one like that except it had the turn signals on the fenders and a gas engine. As a temporary solution I seem to remember putting a rubber shock absorber donut in mine. Seems like it took some carving to work though, and it was not perfect but did work.

In my experience, they usually respond to an email in one to three business days.
If you can get someone on the phone, instantaneous response time of course.
