Don't go fiberglass.
My 6 came with fiberglass front and rear. The front crunched and cracked eveytime I bottomed out (Common here in Southern CA with the street drains). The rear just didn't hold up on the highway. I used the Steel Valence from my 1971 for the front.
I have heard that removing the rear valence helps air flow and was reccomended for the 6. You might try running without it.
How badly damaged was the valence? My front one has been hammered out a couple of time and then coated with a rubberized undercoating, which leaves the valence "wrinkled". Covers a multitude of sins.
If the drilled holes have been torn up, try installing with washers on both sides where the holes should be. You could atleast run this way until the replacement arrives.
