I see you have the front valence trim piece. Did you have that or buy it? If you bought it, where?

It seems to me I'm on the list to get one from them also.
They are available from Layson's Restorations for $238. I talked to them at Moparfest and they said that the valance trim had just started to be reproduced again and if I could wait a couple years they would come down in price. US 238 is about 325 Cdn. As much as I want to replace mine that's just too much coin for one piece of trim.

That's crazy for that little piece. Mine is in perfect condition, guess I'm lucky. Who would've thought a part on a 73 would be so sought after
