THE NEW NOSE IN PRIMER




I finally sprayed primer on the new nose job today. Just couldn't wait any longer. A little more primer and a lot more sanding and we will be ready for the final finish.







Quite a transformation I would say. I'm still wrestling with the grille style, but aside from that, this is the look I was after.



The small openings on the bottom of each side of the air dam are fresh air ducts to cool the brakes. The two openings toward the center will be used as ventilation for the interior. Although the interior will be covered with Dynamat prior to the installation of any carpeting or upholstry, the cockpit will probably still be a bit warm; especially in the summer. A little fresh air in the floor will certainly be appreciated.



Let me know what you think.
