    I picked Nose1.jpg this up at the LA Roadster show on Saturday. I wanted to get your opinion to see if you know what it is.

    Any idea?

    It may be hard to say. What are your plans for it?

    Not sure yet. It was too cool to pass up.

    From left to right it is 18" in the center. At the bottom it is 22" and the opening for the grill shell is 10" from left to right.

    Any idea of a grill that might fit on it?

    If you make some and they look nice and throw down a price better than the LARS prices, I might just have to buy one...or two. If you need someone who knows how to lay these up, I work for a number of movie effects houses who do stuff like that all the time. Drop me a PM if you're interested!

    Sweet mold, if you ever lay a few up, I'd go for at least one or two.
    It's all ways good to have a project starter around.

    It's called a Track T nose, we make about one a year.

    It looks like the midget version of the big car Kurtis 2000 nose, they both take the same grill.

    It's a 47 or later Kurtis midget nose.

    Looks like a nose that was included with a body I bought at a swap meet. P5130752.JPG
