I received the front spoiler couple weeks ago (thank you very much again John!!) and finally had the opportunity to try to hold it on
Perfect, absolutely stunning!
I am going to make a few modifications on it, but he won’t change the looks of it..

Very nice.
wow, I like it. Mine's sitting in the garage waiting for me!
Let us know how you do the final attachment if you don't mind.
Thanks,
John
Wow I like that! Who supplied that? Do you know what the ground clearance will be when attached?
Who's the old guy on the floor..? Almost a game of where's Waldo, no really, looks good,!

As I recall, the main criticism of the Revson spoiler was not necessarily how low it is but how far forward it projects?
It is a nice design and really is more then just a spoiler. It is more of a lower nose extension.
As such, it projects just far enough to make entering and exiting driveways a certain obstacle to the things longevity. Living with it in reality on a day to day basis is the problem. For a racecar it MIGHT be a different story but if I am not mistaken, I think there was a journalist reviewer that suggested that it might be better to make it out of a more flexible material?
Back then, things like flexible plastic bumper covers didn't yet exist but I suspect that was the thinking on the suggestion?
I know that when I got my 73 Pantera, the sheet metal under the radiator support was already torn up pretty good. So extending anything down there requires the acceptance of the inevitable that any spoiler is just living on "borrowed time" and somethings gonna' get ya'?
I believe when RickP (he owns a body and paint facility ) mounts spoilers (and he has done at least one Revson), he uses ribs, nuts into the lower, cowling, and screws from the outside.
This makes it very easy to remove it, if it is required for any reason. Hopefully he or JFFR will chime in….
