53 Front Lower Valance
I'm thinking of removing the front bumper on my 53. To do that, I'm needing a new valance with no frame rail holes in it. I contacted Mid-Fifty to order one but was told their supplier went out of business. Does anybody out there know who might sell these things? All the supplier I know of, only have replacement units with the hole for the frame rail to come through (metal or fiberglass).
Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a Fairlane FG one sitting in storage, but it has the cutouts. Check their website they have a lot of 'glass for the 56 including a one piece front end.
Useable metal ones come up on ebay pretty regularly.

Another thing to find out before you pick a vendor for a fiberglass gravel shield is how thick they are. The one I got from John's F-Fun hundreds was a disappointment. It was only 1/8" thick. That made it weak at the ends where you have to bolt it to the fenders and it bowed down, once mounted with a bubble that tended to move around. I had to reinforce it at the ends and built up the rear lower edge to stiffen it.
