Default rear valance panel

any one install a new filler panel.... the prep looks like its gonna be a pain in the butt...... lot of sanding down and glassing .... also did you have to clip in the bottom to keep it in line?

Are you talking about the exhaust filler panel? I am currently converting a '70 to side exhaust. I have received two panels so far, one hand laid, one pm. Both were a poor fit, the license plate bezel would not fit. The space was a little to tight. I'm now waiting on the 3rd panel.
