47heaven Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 ...does anyone possibly have a spare one they could part with? I don't know the correct name, but I think it's some kind of back bumper spacer tray. Looking for one in decent shape without dents, bends and rust damage...if possible. I already have one with all of that, so it would be nice to have a better one. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 That's the dust or gravel shield. Actually that one looks in good shape in the picture. Probably won't find a used one in much better condition. You could probably get a new one made from Gills Auto Body in Iowa though. Check the links section under floor board replacement on the main site for his number. Quote

I'm sure having one made is very costly because then it becomes a fabricating issue. I'll check Gills out anyway. Thanks! Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Didn't see that in the other pictures. See you have a little bugger action going there in the center. Don't know how bad that is from the pictures but you could possibly smooth and clean off the rust. Fill it in with a little body filler, then repaint it. At least that way the rust won't eat back through the paint as fast. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Like most everything else, these appear on ebay from time to time. How good they really are varies I'm sure. Quote

John Mulders Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 FYI : Corners need to be bend and follow the fender spacing. When I was working on mine I thought that it needed to be straight but lukely I got information from the forum on how it should be. John Quote
mikemaker Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 Keep your eyes open on the bay. I bought mine a couple years back. NOS, $80.00. My old one got crushed by a goddang Hyundai. Quote

John John...they are bent, but you can tell that it was crinkled, too. It was hit from behind at one time and someone did a botched survival job on it. I'll take more detailed pics tomorrow. Quote
