Turns out the rear valance on the Tbird is in pretty rough shape. No rust but it looks like someone has smashed into a few rocks with it.
When I get the new quarter lined up we're it should be, the valance is about an inch and a half short.

Turns out no one makes an aftermarket peice. And anyone from the states I have talked to dosnt want to take the time to drill it off. They either won't sacrifice the trunk and quarters or want to ship an entire clip (at astronomical costs. )

Anyone know of anywhere I might be able to find a doner car local I could remove one from.
Or at the very least get some measurements so I one work mine back were it should be.

For obscure stuff like that I think a kijiji wtb ad may be best, someone knows someone who knows someone with a parts car.

There used to be a yard real close to Hensall that my father used to go to. Nothing newer than 60's stuff. I'll have to ask him if it's still around.

The old guy who used to own it died. His son who is also old is really anal about who he lets in. Last time I talked to someone who knows him they said he wasn't letting anyone in any more.

Harold Cudmore Was the old guy junk yard.
My father also suggested Greg Clarke just down the road from you. He might have some insight.


Greg Clarke would be a better source of information than me - he's the guy that might still have my old Avenger. From Hensall, go West on Zurich Road to the first corner, then South on Bell's Line to the first lane on the west side (ie, right side of the road).
