1971 cuda rear valence

[frenza]

Hey guys, so i ran into a little problem setting up the rear quarter panels to weld in. The quarter panel gits nice everywhere except the gap at the rear valence. Can someone give me the measurements for the rear valence on a 1971 cuda. I've looked else where and so far I found people saying its supposed to be around 65inches. I know the guy I bought the car off of butchered alot if it which requires me to change alot of sheet metal, so im just wondering if he did the same to this rear valence. Thanks

Not a measurement but a good picture for reference.

ideally, you could bolt the lower valence in place, prior to committing the quarter panel placement with welds.

I have it placed and it lines up perfectly everywhere except there. Its really far off. So im just trying to figure out if the AMD quarter panel is a bad batch or if they butchered the valence just like they did the rest of the car.
