    Rear Valence Panel - 64

    The rear valence panel on a 64 has about six (maybe 8) 1/4 inch screws across the top and then a bolt/nut set- up on each lower corner which attach it to a bonding strip on the quarter panel.

    On mine, for the lower corners there is one hole in the valence on each side but two in the body/bonding strip. This leads me to "guess" 1.that the holes were originally drilled at assembly and 2. that I have a replacement valence which required a second hole on each side in a different location on the body. My valence has a label (really a partial label) which is practiacally molded into the fiberglass on the lower right side of the valence which says Rockwell International with a number like xx-xx. I don't remember exactly but it's something liek 38-75.

    Can you shed any light on what I'm seeing.

    Hi Larry, the mulyiple holes are common in the bonding strip. When the car was painted, the valence was temporarily hung on the body for painting. They might have used a wire or hook at the bottom to 'hold' it while the painting was going on. Later after body drop, the valence was permanently bolted on. If you've ever seen an untouched car with the rear valance removed, it will be 'raw' behind the mounting tabs for the top screws.

      Larry,
      Try the "search forum" for Rockwell International Panels. There are several threads on the history of these panels
