[SCG] front spoiler 66/69

[Mark Corbin]

All,

At this point, I think we need to add the SCG to the list. It certainly wouldn't hurt. I'm attaching the pics and hoping they go thru.

Paul and Duane, maybe you can help? Bill, FYI…
 
Should we throw this out to the entire SCG list?

hi all
     cal clark contacted me regarding the front stock valance , or spoiler if you prefer, on the 66/up cars. he is going to look into reproducing them, but wants to get it 'right' the first time around (unlike the deck lid insulation).
he does have a nos piece to work with, however this nos piece and the ones on some cars are not all the same. 
     there appear to be 2 different textures on the outer face of the valance- one is a grain that is pretty pronounced like that of the grain on the 60/64 monza seat vinyl.  the other grain is not as pronounced, being more like the pattern on 65/67 monza/corsa seat vinyl. 
     the other difference is the way the bottom of the valance is molded- one style has a simple lazy L shape towards the rear of the car, the other style has the bottom of the valance shaped in a slight offset that does not go towars the rear, but instead  downward. 
i had 2 examples in the shop today. 
picture 902 is a valance i had on the shelf; year unknown; it has the offset bottom and the shallow texture. 
picture 906 is on a 66 monza, but i don't know the car's history to verify it is original to that car. this one has the lazy L shape and the deep texture.
 
 so that brings up 2 questions. 
1.  what years used which style? 
2. does the texture change go hand in hand with the shape differences , or could there be combinations of texture and shape?
 
i think this something that the SCG could help determine.  
anyone willing to take charge of an investingation?
 
once we make a conclusion, i will post cal with our findings. he does not need to be posted on all of our investigation process. 
best regards
