    Thanks very much, it is extremely clean! When I get some more time will post pics/description in my gallery........

    All this talk about the valance/bracket has got me really curious, from what I am reading, sounds like most 73's do not have this same bracket as on mine? So is the valance just attached to the fenders and bottom of latch support in the center? If someone could post pictures, I would like to see, thx.

    Perhaps it was a mid-production revision/upgrade to secure it better as mentioned above??:huh:

    Could be assembly plant specific, the car Craig has was built in Dearborn and is pretty late production...
