deflector panels? new term for me...could you describe what you're looking for..I suspect it's what we've been calling splash shields. (Under headlight area behind parking light assy's) ??

jegsr · 2011-01-02 20:49

Hey Rich, Yes the panels under the headlights, the ones some of you call splash shields. The factory name is Radiator Side Air Deflector Assy. B7A-8104-A RH and B7A-8105-A LH fit all 57 models. I sure appreciate the help in locating a set. Thanks, John

John...back in Nov. I did a post on making new ones (general discusion...page 2)...On that post Bill had posted that Randy Conner from Wis. Had some new repros at one time and noted that Randy's info was on your website.
They are a lot of work to make but can be done in a weekend with alot of cutting/welding/hammer and dolly work but no specialized equiptment.There is a photo of the ones I made (finished) in the Gallery/ under construction/row10 Rich

John I was able to get out to my parts cars and I do have a a set of deflector panels, they are still on the car, I see a little surface rust but nothing heavy. I have no idea what they are worth, and then there is frieght. If you want them let me know, It has to warm up some before I take them off it's no fun when at 0 or 10 above. Take care, Alvin.

John, I got the grill deflector panels off this afternoon. They look good to me, well blast them off this week-end and get you some photos of them. take care, Alvin

John I got the deflectors cleaned up this afternoon, they arn't as good as I thought, the right one is, however the left one has serveral pin holes in it. It had been undercoated, probably when new and moisture got behind it anddone its thing. Sorry take care, Alvin.

Keep watching ebay, John. I got some really nice ones out of New Mexico, paid about $90 with shipping for them.

jegsr · 2011-01-21 10:26

New as in N.O.S. or reproduction?

jegsr · 2011-03-21 15:42

Not NOS....... These are brand new production, exact copy of the original FoMoCo part. I guess you could call them a reproduction product of the highest quality, jegsr
