I can’t seem to find the recent thread from the member who cut out a metal gt template for the valance.


Was this to add the chin to the valance?

yes


Is it the silver 3.6 done by Patrick Motorsport ?


No, not a big dollar build. Just one of our members doing their thing. Maybe 6 months ago.

I've got some time, I'll have a look. I did mock up with cardboard the chin. Since it is a road car for spirited driving, a bit of an outlaw, I ended up going without the chin. Kind of a GT for the street. It actually has a very nice line, but not a GT copy.

mb911 was mocking up a steel GT front valance in 2020. Maybe he kept a template.

I'm not overly fond of the GT valance I mean it looks great for the period look, but I'm going for a finer look.

Below is a pic that you can read the contours of the inlet somewhat - the louvered inlet is nice as it picks up the fog light cover details

I made the opening about an 1 1/2 inches larger and kept the bumper whole, added brake ducts.

My valance so far....more of a pouting lip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think I almost have enough structure to take it back off.
