Excel Tractor cab

I am restoring a G-VI Moline that has an Excel Model EM7 cab on it. I am just about done with the tractor, but the cab is missing its door and the front pieces that fit around the tractor's hood. The company in Hesston, KS has been out of the cab business for 40 years, so I can't order replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Does anyone know of any salvage yard that might have junk Excel cabs? This is the model that had the door on the rear rather than the left front.
 
Well the filler plate around the hood you can just make. Start with a piece of cardboard and cut until it fits. Then trace it onto a piece of sheet metal. Leave a gap around hood and fill with weather stripping. The door I can't help you with. Was that a bi-fold door?
 
I am not too sure about the door as there is nothing there now. Based on the size of the hole, I sort of think it was a one piece door that just was fastened by 3 hinges.
 
Buy yourself a length of 1x1x.062" tubing, and a piece of 16G sheet steel, and fire up your mig welder. A 4-1/2" grinder and a pack of cut-off wheels will suit your cutting needs. Make the corners of your window area round and make a cardboard template and take it to your local auto glass shop. They can cut what ever you need for shape from laminated safety glass, and provide the rubber molding to install it.
I have built several replacement door and window frames with these materials.
