'66 rear valance

Looking for a rear valance for a '66 bird. Mine could be salvaged, but less time consuming to replace. Close enough, I'll pick up. I'm in southcentral Pa.

I see one has just been listed on eBay....
Item 172064378113. Seems a bit pricey, no speaker grill, but might be worth checking out.

Thanks, Terry,
I need the one under the bumper that ties the rear quarters together.

Oops....the only ones I know who might do new metal is Classic Sheet Metal in Charlotte, NC. They do quite a few Tbird panels, but I don't know if they do that one. I bought a trunk floor from them and it was great.

Terry, I just received a quarter panel from Classic. I asked when I ordered, no one makes an aftermarket rear valance.

I'm afraid I have no more suggestions. I have no idea what the parts car supply is like.
Good luck

Terry,
It's going to have to come off a parts car. There are some around, but people don't want to cut the quarter panels to get one. The easiest way to salvage one.

Bob, I was corresponding with a gentleman called Murf, who has a stock of parts cars and asked about a rear valance. He has one, but it is very rough. He sent me photos that I can forward if you want.
His site is UNDER1981\USED ORIGINAL CAR & TRUCK PARTS\TENNESSEE\TN,JUNK YARDS

I've seen that site. Rough I don't need. Mine's not rough, just twisted at the ends from some backyard body men the previous owner knew. I'm going to check with Bob's Birdhouse, if nothing, my body guy said he could salvage mine. I'm not restoring, just rebuilding. A wrinkle here and there won't hurt.
Thanks for your time, Terry.

When I had my painting done a couple of years ago, my valance was damaged on one side. They repaired it on the car and you can't tell. The steel on these cars is usually good enough that they can do work that isn't possible on newer ones.
Good luck
