67-68 Camaro owners in here!
 

If you could buy a valance modified with 69 park lights, would you be interested? We have already have a valance ready to be molded, but before I go to the trouble to do it, I am taking a head count of who all would be interested. The valance looks like a 69 valance without bumper openings, but fits a 67-68. If you want to run a front bumper the holes will need cut. Some guys have done, so you know what it looks like. Post up if you might be interested.

assuming the price is reasonable I would want one.

I know several people have fabbed their own here lately, so the interest in a 67-68 lower valance with 69 round running lights is wanted by some.

I know personally I would like custom lower valance that had the round lights and perhaps some smaller/cleaner air openings in case I also decided to go bumperless on the front.

Below are 2 pix I had altered in ms paint for possible cool lower valances, some time ago.

1 has the split openings but not as big as stock, and the other is a open center possibly.

I'm in as long as long as the price is decent. Do you have any pictures of the one you are proposing to offer?

soon, it looks just like a 69 valance but fits the 67-68, I still need to mock it to a car to make sure we have no unforseen issues. I have an idea on price, but I need to get the mold made and make a few parts to make sure the price will hold up.

also what does holes would need to be cut mean? if you are suggesting just a flat valance then I am out if I am going to have to Fab anything on these then I will just do the whole thing myslelf

I think he is saying it would come with round light openings, but no center section cut outs, etc... just a smooth faced lower valance with mounting/openings for 69 round lights. Thats what I understand but could be wrong. They would not have bumper holes perhaps.

cool I am back in :thumbsup:

Correct, smooth lower valance with no bumper holes. You would have to add those if you want to run a front bumper

Absolutely in
 

looking for that myself

I'd be interested as well depending on how it looks and the price.

Will this be a metal piece or fiberglass?

Id be interested.

Glass, I would much prefer metal but the cost of the stamping die would be cost prohibtive unless we could sell thousands of them. If we use a local source, it will be hand laid, vaccum bagged, autoclave cured piece. We may also send to Anvil and let Matt make them instead. Matt is already going to be making a few other parts we are working on now.

Hey Mike,
say, how are those "other pieces" coming along anyway?

I was going to have one of these built but scrapped it.... interested in seeing what you come up with and pricing.

I would like to see it with the '69 lights outward and an opening like Jody did on his TT Camaro...since I have an IC to get air to.

Yes! Yes! :thumbsup:

Are you moved and ready to go to work yet? Just say the word and I will ship the first one out.

Anthony, I have seriously thought about doing what is pictured. It would solve a RS hood latch issue

Looks like a basking shark with its mouth open. :unibrow:

Actually, I already have an IC and everything fits well....don't have 69 lights though.....

This is a cool idea. I would rather run the stock valance.

I would like to see pics.:thumbsup:

Definitely would be in -- depending on price. Would need the RS version. Been wanting to do this for awhile.

The demand would definitely be there. I am currently building a 67 and have looked extensively for one before buying building one. This is what mine will look like when done.

any prototype pics yet?

I should have rough pics this week. I am finishing some other prototype parts this weekend I need to ship to Matt at Anvil very soon.

I would be in as well depending on the price.

Totally interested! I keep going back and forth now about whether to keep the front bumper or not on my 68. I always thought it made the openings look too big, but this is something that takes the eye away from that. Wasnt the front valance on that blacked out car with the flush window kit, from the guy who was sure he could build a $100k car in a few months? Cant find the thread but Im pretty sure he had 69 running lights on a 68.

Hmmm - any hints?

spoiler

I would also be interested in one of these

stop playing games.. lets see it!

very soon grasshopper, I want to have it bolted to a car before I show pics to get a real world idea of how it will look on a car. :D

Looking forward to the spoiler. New design?

yes.....

How bout more details. Car in shop as we speak getting some work done. When would front valence be available.

Front valance pics I plan to put up next week after I have it bolted on a car. I have to talk to Matt and see just how long it will take for him to have production parts. I also have a local source I may use if they get their autoclave installed in time. I hope to have first parts by first of June

mabey it looks something like mine
 

i posted this a few weeks before this thread had started/good luck with your valance im sure it will be nice.i chose to make mine from metal.the pic is from a crappy cell phone/the black circles on sides are mock up for lights.im thinking of using the new camaro lights in the valance.im interested in seeing your production version
thanks

This is what I did.
15+ hours of welding, adjusting and sanding.......
