Hi JD,
I think some people have reported finding a copy tucked behind the radio on occasion too.
Certainly the one that was on the tank is the most common one to find.
Regards,
Alan

Mine was very similar so I used my wife's makeup brush for the face it has long very soft bristles. It cleared up a lot but not all. I couldn't help but notice the rear valance exhaust is not 69. Round exhaust bezels were on 69 models . Good luck

I'm thinking of making a set of fiberglass "filler plugs" to insert into the exhaust tip openings since I have Hooker SS side pipes for the car.

My car is a '70. I just thought I'd chime in on the thread since I found my car's sheet after dropping the tank.

Just a thought Zip in Va. sells a piece with a flange. the flange bolts to your existing valance on one side. The other side is a straight edge that you mark a straight line remove the piece and glass in. Sand paint and your done. I don't have a pic but that's what I will be doing to my 69 for the side pipes.

Hi Steve,
As r described there is a valance panel sold that has a tab at each end to fill the part of the opening for the exhaust bezel that extends into each quarter panel. There's one for 68-69, and one for 70-73 cars.
The valance doesn't fit all that well though and requires some fiberglass work on the valance and the quarter panels to make a good looking job before painting. Even at it's best it's just a make do appearance.
As r also mentions the best option is to buy a rear valance panel for a side exhaust car and also 2 fiberglass quarter panel flanges for a side exhaust car. Then you only have to do the fiberglass work on the quarter panels and end up with the appearance of a 69 side exhaust car.
Either way it takes a good bit of effort to get a good appearance.
Corvette Central for example sells the "conversion" filler valance as do other vendors. #143112
Here's an example of a side exhaust valance panel and the filled quarter panels on a 71 car.
Regards,
Alan
