    Has anyone else had problems with the rear valance fitting properly when doing the small bumper swap? The car I'm working on is a 76 2dr Maverick. The rear valance I've got came off a 71 2dr. When I mocked it up I had a little over a quarter inch gap on both ends. Does anyone know if maybe a 72, or 73 valance might fit better? The one I have is also missing the mounting brackets. I think I could fab in some new ones if I could just get some good close up pics of an original.
    Thanks.:tiphat:
