    Need help in locating screw holes for front valance supports

    The restoration is in process for my '66 L36, but the years and dings have not been kind to some of the body items, like the lower front valance, which was missing the "L" supports that go from the lower front radiator support to the lower front valance. No screw holes exist in the lower front valance fiberglass either, so if anyone has a photo or some measurements of where those holes would be drilled, I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

      I can't recall when the two holes started but depending on your engine option you used different holes. I just borrowed this picture from an ebay auction.

        Once the core support angle was changed in 1966, the valance had two holes on each side. The "two hole" valance was then used on remaining C2 production.

            Here's a past thread regarding when and why the valence holes changed along with some info regarding the extra cutout in the valence near the passenger side lower radiator hose outlet.

            IIRC the extra added drilled hole is approximately 2" forward of the rearward existing holes. Best to set the Radiator Support and Rod L-Brackets in place and scribe the hole locations before drilling.
