[DeTomaso] front valance

[michael frazier]

The front valance as well as the square crossmember behind it are pretty banged up, but only on the very bottom.  
I was thinking about replacing them both, but now that I've been down there investigating that, I've found 
both to be rust free and very solid..just banged around from careless parking and jacking.  My current plan is to remove
just the lower section of the valance to straighten it on a table then weld it back in.  While it's out I will have access
to the crossmember to pull and whack on it.  The damage is only on the bottom hozontal surfaces and only shows very 
minor surface corrosion where the paint was scraped off...you can scotch-brite it off.  It's a bunch of work but nothing compared 
to actually replacing them.  I wouldn't have to cut or remove anything structural.  So that's the plan.  
 
Any thoughts?
