The lower fender new repop parts. Well, they dont look right, and I have not yet tried them as I still have some fenders and parts. That said, the REPOP front lover valence ( in metal) is not formed right in the front at the turn signal/marker lights. When bolted up to original sheet metal, the top sides are out ( forward ) 1/2" from the car. This isnt a chance for a "tweek" . Source a used one and work it is my best opinion.
My Buddy Allan has a 1970 Subframe from Calif up in my loft . I think the "A" frames are powder coated and off it. needs a small dent welded on the bottom. Probably could own it reasonable, would be more correct ( if that matters)..LMK
Also I have a Pass side quarter from about half way back, Forward including B Pillar, Door Jam and the window channel. One of mine was hit in RR bottom area. LMK
Brian does excellent work blasting. I trust him with some irreplaceable parts sometimes.

I have an original lower valance that's in decent shape. The brackets to mount it to the fenders were MIA so I just used self tappers to hold the corners of the valance to the fenders lol

I'm actually going to Ames this week to pick up some sheet metal, although they currently dont have any full quarters in stock. No ETA on when they'll be in, so I guess we'll just be skinning the passenger side. No big deal.

The car is in epoxy primer now:
