One of the 'SHELBY AC COBRA' reproductions was based on a casting a master off an original but like a copy of a copy of a facsimile each casting step blurred details. The originals have some fine art that would probably require a pattern maker to use an original to recreate the art.

Dan,
You could have it scanned digitally and use the file for reproduction. If you can find a service locally the part would never be out of your control.
Yes, I have had a similar experience with a loaned part.
