torque converter cover (dust shield)

i don't like driving around with those gears exposed and the part is hard to find.
possible it is interchangeable with other buicks of the same time period?

if anyone has a diagram of the part and measurements i was thinking of getting one made at a metal shop.

thanks

Re: torque converter cover (dust shield)

the two i just saw at autozone do not look like what i had.
meaning they are not the same shape.
need to consider proper fit.
