Finally found a nose to copy
Dale - 13/4/06 at 09:34 PM

Being my car is going to be a 72 mg(bastard) or if I can manage to get them to change it to mg special. All for insurance reasons -It will save me about $2500 cnd per year in insurance and I have a title for the donor.
I am doing a fair bit of devience from the book and going for a bit of vintage hotrod in my car I found a mg nose to copy that fits my build nicely and should not be to terrible to build. 1934 mg kn speacial single seater racer. It should be able to blend into a two seater with a little imagination. Rescued attachment Resize of 1934_mg_kn_special_front_end.jpe

Would like to find some more shots that show the whole car. I love the boat tail but I am using the original mfb boot.

Simply Gorgeous . How long do you expect it to take you? Do show the results once finished .

I doubt that I will get to even starting the bodywork till late this summer. But that nose may be able to make out of 22g steel as most of the curves are single except for the verty top corners. . Probably about 5 pieces plus the side pods.
If I go glass as I have to make rear wings as well it will be just laid up over a foam or wood buck and smooth the finish surface. I wont be getting into molds for a one off.
