I had a body shop paint the valance after I rivited, glued and filled the inserts. I got the measurements from a member of this site. I have attached the diamentions. 3634540-valancewithnumbers.bmp (185 downloads)

I called and left a message. Got his info from the Dodge Charger web-site.

I've tried several times over the past few years, and have had no luck. I bought 2 of his 71/2 style 'glass rear valances YEARS ago, and I know of a few folks who were trying to get a hold of him.

Very nice piece, but I haven't seen him on the board here for a long time. If you can get one of his valances you won't be disappointed. "That Plymouth had a Hemi with a Torqueflite." -Driver

Did you have the engine dyno'd before installing? I'm curious what the HP difference is between the crank and wheel HP/Tq. Nice looking 500, btw!

Same hear I also bought the NOS Rear Valance that he used as a mold for his fiberglass units - Paid only $250.00 for it - Trust me that was a bargain compared to what i sold it for a few years back on Ebay But honestly still wish i had the NOS Valance - Thing was perfect - Will bee interesting to see these new stampings and how they look and fit - Should sell pretty good if done right 4505829-HPIM0550(Large).JPG (103 downloads) 1971 Dodge Charger Superbee 2011 Ram Sport 1500 Quad Cab Deep Water Blue Loaded Siberian Huskies

Thanks, Thats an old photo, and dyno results from July 2002. Broke an Intake valve last year so I'm building a new engine. The Dyno #'s shown are SAE corrected, the actual was around 370 HP uncorrected for the 95 degree day at around 6,000 ft altitude here in Denver. The car only runs 12.50 @ 110 (+/- a few tenths.) Ran it in Vegas and got some 11.80's with out any tuning changes. BTW, this is a street car, 4,150# on pump gas. I broke an intake valve last year so now I'm building a bigger 500cid stroker.
