68 gto valance chrome mounting holes
Hey guys, I need to see where the holes are in the front valance for my 68 to mount the chrome. The one I'm using is from a Lemans and it doesn't have any. If someone could send me a picture that would be outstanding!! Thanks,you're efforts will be deeply appreciated!

Do you have the chrome? Can you hold up the chrome to the valence and mark it? Is this on the car?

That's just your basic Verdoro Green when it's under an incandescent light. Much more green when it's outside.
Product is Automotive Art Motobase LV, with SPI clear coat. |

I went thru this not too long ago on an original Lemans valance I picked up off eBay years ago. Here’s some photos with measurements. I used a 1/4” bit to drill the mounting holes. Molding pieces fit well.
The valance obviously still needs some work, but it’s much straighter than my original.

I keep some modeling clay in the shop for such projects. Put a line of it on the valance in the area the holes are supposed to be, press the trim into place, center punch marks in the clay/valance where the trim screw holes left an impression.
