"Hey fenders, by the time you pay the shipping from Riverside CA you might just as well get a new piece."

Heck ya, it's just money, I can make some more tomorrow.

Until today I didn't think a new valance was even an option. I'll have to check it out just a little more before I order one. I have a month of good painting weather left so I guess I'll be patient for a few more days. About three people have told me new ones exist, but I have yet to find someone who actually has one to sell me. If true, I believe that only leaves the cab, doors and hood as unavailable in steel. I would be amazed if cabs and doors will EVER be available.
