Front spoiler/air dam for a -68 LTD?

Is there a spoiler, aftermarket or from another make, that would fit even close to a LTD/Galaxie front bumper? Or is the only choice to make it? I'd like to reduce the amount of air going unnecessarily under the car and engine bay.

I've never seen a front air dam on a stock Galaxie/LTD, certainly of that vintage. I think you'll need to custom fab something, or modify something from a different car. Either way it will be a custom piece. Are you going racing with your car?

Won't be racing anything. It'll reduce lift of the nose and improve stability on higher speeds and especially on windy weather. Airflow through radiator improves and there may be a marginal gain in mpg too but those are secondary.

Making one won't be a problem. The end result just depends on how much time I want to use making one from scratch rather than modifying an existing one(if one can be found with a reasonable cost).
