Intmd8r Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The chassis is looking great!I may be getting ahead of things, but what is the plan for the track nose grill? I was thinking of fabricating an aluminum style block off plate for my build, but I'm not completely sold on the idea. None of the various track noses in my parts box collection seem to have the right fit/shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Looking good KerryI wouldn't mess with the hood sides. That is right where your hairpins or split bones are going to reside, and possibly your steering. If you bring those hood sides down you may conflict with the suspension. Plus, I think the cutaway to expose the frame looks cool.I hear ya Craig, I will have to cut the little tab that is hanging down on the hood sides as that's where the front hairpins hit the frame... steering on the pass. side is going to have to be cut into the hood quite a bit and may have to do a little work with that...

I know for the resin build the track nose was cut down and narrowed front to back. Noticeable when compared to the 29 nose from the kit...
