    No , I want to keep them. Originally I thought of cutting them out of the Mustang valance and welding them into the stock piece . Since the stock valance is in rough shape I'm going to modify the Mustang piece to fit. If that dosen't work out I'll go with the original plan , the stock valance is repairable.Also by using the Shelby valance it has the license plate mount , the Cougar had the plate between the taillights which I lost by going to the Shelby taillight panel.

        I think so , it's kind of looking like that . Besides the Shelby pieces going on , I've taken one manufactures engine and put it in another manufactures vehicle ( AC Cobra ) .

        • Just imagine if GM had backed Shelby instead of Ford!

            there would have been a shelby Corvair. the Portland Trailblazers could have drafted Michael Jordon, instead, they got Sam Bowie. However, MJ would have been oil to Clyde Drexler's water - it just wouldn't have worked. Frankly, I'm glad he went to Ford, it gave Duntov the foil he needed to goad GM into an all aluminum 427 in the Corvette.

                • I believe it's going to work . I think I'll end up cutting off the ends of the stock valance and adding them to the Mustang valance.

                        • I got the valance all figured out and I'm very happy with it . I installed the rear bumper , fender extensions and trunk lid just to get a look at things . Next job is to get the bumper to fit better , it's twisted and the top and bottom sides is in need of straightening out . Bumper jack damage I presume . The bumpers will be painted body color .

                              • I spent it , but not with Summit with Amazon . Great deal , Amazon was cheaper than Summit and in CDN $$$$ as well . Kooks 2010 Camaro SS stainless headers . They fit between the rails , BUT , I'll have to build new motor mounts AGAIN ! Oh well , gives me something to do . The steering shaft is going to be fun also .
