Mike65 475 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Has anyone used the repop front valance & how was the fit? Mine has several dings & is cracked at the top in the center. I am considering replacing it instead of trying to repair mine. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Mine would need to be pretty F's up to consider replacing with Chinese. Even the crack can be successfully repaired w/o worry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 i used a repro that i had gotten back around 94 (so don't know if they have been improved or not). i had to rework both sides where it mates to the fender. the curve didn't match and the bend was really soft. they bolted together but it looked bad. it wasn't a tough fix though. just some cutting and welding.

I am considering replacing it instead of trying to repair mine. Mike. Mike: same problem with my original. After I stripped off all the paint I welded the crack in mine. Based on what I have seen with your project you have the skills to weld repair the crack. The bodywork will smooth out the rest. I would stay with the original. I also did a slight mod and removed the front licence plate mounts. Here in NC we don't have front plates and it will give the front end a clean look.

I guess I will stay bwith the original & repair it. Thanks for the encouragement, that will be a winter in the garage project. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerr_man 11 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 if i remember correctly i did some relief cuts in the center top and bottom. I think it looks correct for fit. My original was shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
