79-80 after market rear bumper or valance

Does anyone make a clean rear bumper for 79-80? Non wide body.

I dunno, but have the rubber bumper strip that runs across the stock bumper if you end up needing one.

My problem is the car had rust behind the rear wheels and it was poorly bondoed. Rust is not showing but bondo is pretty wavy and id like to cover it up, but if i have to ill grind it all flat and redo it.

I dont need a factory bumper. Im looking for something aftermarket for the rear to cover up behind the rear wheels where it was bondoed. I didnt know if there was such a thing for the 79-80 body. I see them for 81-85. Unsure if they will fit. For sure the license plate cutout is different.

Mariah doesn't sell the side or rear skirts any longer. I wanted the entire Mode 4 kit this last Christmas and they said the supplier does not have them any longer. I had to settle for just the front bumper.

Are you looking for something like a rolled rear pan, like a smoothed out piece in place of the rear bumper? Or are you looking for lower rear quarter panels?

remove all the old filler with a wire wheel and redo it with fiberglass - it wont hold/trap moisture. worse comes to worse, cut up a parts car and replace it at the seams where nobody will see the job.
