I can’t seem to find the recent thread from the member who cut out a metal gt template for the valance.

Was this to add the chin to the valance?

I've got some time, I'll have a look. I did mock up with cardboard the chin. Since it is a road car for spirited driving, a bit of an outlaw, I ended up going without the chin. Kind of a GT for the street. It actually has a very nice line, but not a GT copy.
