Will you make this a kit for us to purchase?
 
It looks prety cool. Though too me, this type of part is akin to the fender flares of the 70's (and I'm only 27, so I wasn't even there). By that I mean that any major body mod is usually inherently trendy, therefore when the trend dies you end up with a dated look. I am not a purist, factory inspection marking enthusiast, just MHO.
 
Mike, you make a kit, you better let me know. Dont make me come down nair' an give somebody a good kuntry a$$ whoopin'.

Is Roy D Mercer still on the air?

I want to see one of these painted and installed. Im going to buy one regardless, I just need to see one in real life. The excitement is driving me crazy. :D
 
Whoa whoa whao what is that 67-68 wanna b a 69??????????

While I tend to agree with you, this is something that's easily replaceable. A set of quarters is much more difficult to replace than the valance panel.

Once this falls out of favor unbolt the old panel, bolt on new, paint to match. :thumbsup:
 
here is a pic of the original prototype body worked and installed on project "karma". You can see the lights are dead center where the bumper brackets go. We are working on version 2.0 with the lights moved in board and will also lower the inlet the the center of the lights. This one looks good, but we are going to make 2.0 even better
I love it Mike.
When you move the light holes closer together and center the inlet hole with them, will the inlet get smaller?
I may have missed it in a past post but is the inlet going to stay open, or is there an insert (grill if you may) of any type for it? The reason I ask is because I think the inlet hole should be a tad smaller, especially if the lights get that much closer to it.
Again, I think it looks awesome.
Unfortunately, some states require a front license plate. Seems a pity to cover something like that up.

Car is in paint now. Should have pics soon. Version 2.0 is be finished this week. We just finiahed our new spoiler protoype over the weekend for 69 Camaros and getting back on the valance. A new 68 spoiler will be done once we finish the valance
 
Mike,

I replied to you in a previous forum regarding your new valance, and I'm still in. I was curious to know if you could build a similar valance, like the one offered by Marquez. I've asked them directly, but of course I can't get a response back. This is not a shot at Marquez by any means, just haven't had the best luck trying to get their parts, or responses. I understand that this may be a conflict of interest considering you carry their products, but I thought it would be worth it to ask. Again, their's if for a '69. Not a '68 or '67 model.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Marquez will be building one for the 67-68 similar to the 69, but I would not expect it anytime before SEMA at the earliest. Conflict of intrest for me to duplicate on of their designs
 
Have you consulted Johnny Cash about this?

(One peice at a time.)
Ugh!, what model is it?"

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

Your fabricated part looks great. I just like them how they came.
Good Luck.
