No place I know of repros them and aside from the ducts it is made entirely of sheet metal. Possibly you could take an old one to a sheet metal shop and tell them what you want and have it repaired or another built. When I did my conversion I built my entire assy ducts and all from scratch to fit the modern component needs but keep the original look.
The only part on my repro that needs more work is the actual visible dash ducts because commonly available modern casting materials are not able to withstand high interior temperatures such as after sitting in the sun. Without pressure casting abilities better than what I had the stuff that will withstand the high temps is not easily cast with gravity alone.
