I would love to have a fiberglass air dam just like the one seen here:

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

WOW! Now that's a classic flashback look from the 70's! That front spoiler looks familiar and I think I remember seeing parts like that advertised but I doubt you'll find them easily today. Do some research on how to make your own fiberglass parts and plan to spend 40ish hours making the mold, but it can be done.

When you've got the mold and the part looks good and fits good, sell them on ebay as I'm sure you're not the only one that likes to look, just a thought. Bob

Fast71,

I remember seeing a couple on the Baldwin Motion cars (if memory serves me )
and JC Whitney used to sell those in or around 69 -72 I believe.

I have one on my 69. Very nice quality fiberglass and molded perfect
to the bumper. I wish you luck in trying to find one though, they are
scarce now.

I get a lot of good comments on mine. For some reason it just seems
to go with the 69 front end very well. On a side note, my temperature
at highway speed went from 180* to 155* when I put mine back on.
It really works well as a air dam.

If I can figure out how to post a picture, I'll put in on here for you.

Dang. I had been wondering about that exact same affect on my '68 Elky. I had been contemplating adding the 3" lip under the core support that most more modern cars seem to have.

Forget the picture... I wanna borrow your spoiler for a few days ;-)

Steve,

*LOL* I probably could let you borrow it since it's in the garage sitting
on the car anyway. If you look at the cut-aways on the 69 bumper,
you'll see why the air dam works so well. All of the air is forced up
into and through the bumper.

Want to hear a good one ? I get very few bugs on the grill and bumper !

I wish I could help you find one. I will keep my eyes open. If
I locate one, I'll post it in the parts section.
