Can anyone tell me what kind of quality to expect on a reproduction front valance for a 1970 Dodge Challenger ?

My original got hit on the passenger side upper corner and that created a bad crease as well as pretty bad dent in another location. Heating and dollying the metal around the dent has got it down to a quarter size high spot, but I'm too afraid of ruining the metal to continue at this moment.

The crease was so extreme that it is still a sizeable low spot despite the sheer amount of heating, bending, and hammering.

I've gotten my valanace in much better condition, but I'm running out of patience and time, so I'm considering putting up mine and buying a reproduction.

If the reproduction is going to have a bunch of dents I'm going to have to hammer and shrink back into place, I'll just fix my own.

Anyone care to share their experiences with the reproduction valances ?

Thanks !

My 70 Cuda was not great. It needed massaging to get the valance insert to fit but it worked
