63 Dodge Valance

[63wagon]

Tried this thread in the 'wanted' section without any luck so I'll try it here.

Looking for a non-pretzeled lower valance for a 1963 dodge 330(wagon)

Here's what I have...don't want to pay to body-man for all the hours to make it straight.

Thanks in advance!

Are they available in fiberglass?

Are they available in fiberglass?

That would make them even more fragile...

I would take one made of glass if they did......do you know 'they' is? :icon_thumright:

If ya got somebody to straighten it out, you could then say all original sheet metal...just a thought.

X2 ... I'm no body guy but it appears very fixable to me. A little hammer work and you should be good to go.

Mine wasn't quite as bad and after hours and hours with a hammer and dolly I got it to where I only needed a thin skim coat of filler.

A good metal guy could bring it back.

As far as the fiberglass, I've heard they have good stuff but never personally ordered anything. Sorry.

Mine was pretty messed up around the marker light on this side and I managed to save it.

Mine wasn't quite that bad but it is awesome now after a few hours work...
There was one on fleabay awhile ago with only surface rust for $180...they don't seem to come up much tho.

I do like the idea of having it all metal and stock so I'll probably end up on the business end of a hammer.....

You should take a minute and bolt it to a length of angle before you start pounding so it doesn't pretzel too bad.

Mine was banged up pretty good too but after removing the body filler that they used instead of repairing the dents it turned out fine.

here was mine before......I'll take a pick of what it looks like now later today..

Hey Red

Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled...I had the guy at the body shop do it off the clock and he did a great job.

Thanks again
