Made a new nose for my Indy
Mave - 14/9/11 at 05:12 PM

Hi,

after building the bodywork for my Indy from scratch a couple of years ago (see avatar), I decided to start all over and use my "lessons learned" to start again from scratch. It is currently at the painter, and he sent me some pics that I thought I'd share with you guys. I'm well chuffed.

Looks great!if i were u,i would open even more the mouth,to get kinda closer to the smaller openning.

That looks fantastic! Did you make a mould from your old nose?

Looking good Marcel. Get the feeling you had a good look at a Donkervoort for inspiration. Can't blame you though, one of the best looking nosecones out there if you ask me.

So how did you make it? you tease you

Hmm, yup, Donkervoort has been more than an inspiration. I made a mould for both the "old" nose, and the "new" nose. However, maybe I should also consider taking a new mould from the new nose now the painter has done such a great job in getting it smooth.

The area between both openings are meant for the numberplate, so I can't make the holes bigger.
