1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Guidance on rear Valance

The flat style screws are readily available new.
We carry them.

The ones with the smaller heads are not difficult to find.
I will note that 6S1732 also has the flat style on the third screw (at the bumper guard) on each side.
Originally, the rear valance was hung in place and sprayed body color, which explains a few screws being painted.
If possible, it always a great idea to document all original details on a car when taking it apart. Even cars that have been "messed with" over the years retain some valuable original details. This includes paint colors and overspray patterns on the underside.
All to often, the disassembly process and stripping process occurs too quickly and without documentation. There is absolutely no substitute for duplicating original details to the particular car. It is unfortunately rarely done this way.
