I lucked out at mine because the clerk has a passion for the old cars too.  I know he has the books there and they all have them.  You just have to find someone who knows how to use thier books to find your items.

good luck

Might check some less national parts stores.  They probably have a supplier that can reline your cores.  Maybe even in-house.

You need to have an assembly manual if you want to built this.  They are available on Ebay and they have more information than any picture could give you
