Default 'ISO '67 Grand Prix front disk backing plates (dust shields)

Re-doing the entire front end of my '67 Grand Prix. Sending the control arms to get bead blasted and powder coated. Replacing every single replaceable part except the pitman arm. I would like to install new backing plates / dust shields for aesthetics. Does anybody know a source? I've had every single catalog out from Ames to OPGI, been on Ebay and Summit and JEGS, all with no luck. These stock ones are anodized. I guess I could powder coat them too if nothing else..... ANYbody buy these new someplace??

My GP came with the factory disk brake option, with those big 4-piston calipers.

Thanks, H.

Many guys would KILL for backing plates that clean. I am pretty sure these were Zink plated but perhaps aluminum coated like a muffler?
Maybe just clear them.
67 GPs rock, good luck!

They didn’t look like that when i pulled them!! Hours of scrubbing up these original 50+ year old front end parts. You’re right I’m being a bit particularly but the finish is worn, one is bent. Was hoping someone had a line on some new ones. I’ll end up straightening them and maybe shoot them silver or Pontiac engine blue.
Thank you for the reply. H
