Project OCD (I bought a car to build tools???) - '67 Mustang Coupe

[justin51986]

Hey Justin, they are two completely separate pieces, really just the end pieces of the original valance. I cut them off around the distance that aligns with the inner edge of the fender extentions. I then trimmed them around the various areas of the valance to fit (you don't see any of that as it is all behind the valance), then welded up the holes. They bolt up to the front leading edge of the fenders just like the original valance did. The new valance itself is bolted to a thin wall square tube steel mount I made that is sandwiched between the stone guard and valance. The valance then wraps around the perpendicular strips of sheet metal that protrude from the corner pieces. A couple more details, the outer bottom edge of the valance is bolted to the bottom lip of the fenders (had to drill those holes, they were not originally there). Final item, I had to cut/trim the very outer/backside plastic lip of the valance to align with the fender opening and then do some plastic welding to clean that all up. Hope that helps!

Thank you SO MUCH. I think I'm going to attempt this, but make a couple small changes so i won't be completely copying you haha. now, time to start ordering parts!!

Glad the info helped! Keep me updated on your progress, excited to see any improvements on the initial design!
