I am completely jealous of your skill set.

Me too!  Great work there Panhead.  I had no clue of all the gentle little curves and bends that are in this part.   :cheers:
I love the smell of nitro in the morning.

Got some more stuff done today. The nose is bolted down and so is the valance. I've noticed that my left park lamp mounting bracket is off little.  :brickwall:

That shot from the engine compartment looking forward is a view I've never seen before - anywhere!
I like!

It also graphically illustrates the limited area for air flow to the radiator!

Yes the grill does have a slite angle in the middle. The center is the low spot and angles up to the outter edges just a little. Thanks for the kind words :yesnod:

My color is going to be silver with a black stripe and interior. Nelsons's is to thin for me. It's like 24 or 22 gauge and don't have the right radius were it bolts to the fenders. His is flat.

Quotewaynes  silver car   this is the car with the gene gregory nose on it that has the grille frame opening thats a 1/2 inch to small .



That's odd?,....I wonder if Gene Gregory copied an NOS nosecone,...as I've had requests over the years to make "custom" Tona/Superbird grille frames to fit NOS nosecones were the opening is either distorted/shaped differently, or smaller or larger in "stock" deminsions, seems like it's the guys that have or copy NOS (line reject) nosecones end up with an abnormal honker,....I know Ted Janek molded off an NOS cone when he made his fiberglass offering, that's why the passenger side fender mating edge deminsion is larger, causing it to hang lower on the passenger side, don't know if he has corrected that?.....I'd think the crew of 16 men making nosecones back in day, ALL DAY, DAY AFTER DAY, made quite a few mistakes,....must have been brutal
