A good day's work at the garage!

The rear valance is original, but rather bent, battered and rusty... Faithful reproductions are available, but too expensive for me.


Earlier this summer, I had purchased one of the standard reproduction valances for pre-67 cars. After having cut and drilled out the original one, I cut out the "best of both worlds" from the two valances


After some trialfitting and measuring, the new piece was spotwelded together.
The holes for the twin-post -55 exhaust had to be handled of course, so they were welded shut as well.
