Default Need 1969 Mustang Convertible Chrome Boot Mouldings

Gentlemen,
A search of the web shows convertible top chrome boot mouldings available for the 1964-1968 years, but nothing came up for the 1969. Any suggestions as to where I might find them? One of mine is presentable, but the other is badly pitted. I'd really like a new set, but a nice used set would do. Many Thanks!
Gene

I have had some pitted parts repaired and
re-chromed, this could be an option

It's really tough trying to find nice used chrome pieces.

Madmaxx, can you give us an idea as to the approx. cost of re-chroming? Do they charge by the foot, the inch or what?

Thanks guys. I was hoping that there was a source out there for new mouldings that I hadn't been able to come up with in my own searching. I guess there's only the option of getting my original pieces rechromed, never a cheap option. Past experience has taught that getting anything rechromed is totally dependent on the number of hours it takes the chrome shop to prep the pieces for each of the chroming stages. Several years ago I found it was far cheaper to buy new chrome pieces for my 55 Thunderbird than it would have been to have the original pieces redone.
