QUOTE (trackbird @ Apr 10 2010, 09:02 PM)  Who makes that nose? Can I find one for a 3rd gen? And, is it light enough (and durable enough) to swap out my stocker? I make it, don't have plans for a 3rd gen, but I'll make a good deal on one for a 5th gen if someone loans me a car for a while. It's light enough for a race car, but not as flexible as the stocker. There's a steel support that is designed to keep the splitter/undertray in place even if the nose gets damaged. |

I wasn't sure if it was an Alan original or if I was going to luck out and find that VFN or someone made it. Oh well... Guess I need to build a newer car.

You don't need a big dollar nose if you want lighter. Look up an asphalt stock car nose. I've got one sitting in the attic for a Firebird but I know they make them for Camaros too. Flexible plastic but not as thick as a stocker. Even with the weight, the stock nose is growing on me though. It rivets back together really well with some aluminum backers. |

I've seen those noses, I wondered what it would take to make it fit a car based on a production chassis?

Unfortunately, it looks like I won't make it to Autbahn this weekend either. At least the car wont make it, I'll probably stop by to check out the action. Not very thrilled about it, but the car is not ready. I'll get some pictures up soon.
Thanks for the interest Dave QUOTE (QUASAR @ Sep 7 2010, 04:43 PM) ...back from the dead...
