'68-69 GTO Nose - The Project has Begun! (Page 15/60)

Here's a pic of how this process got started. We cut up a 2" insulation board to make the block. We used STUFF to spray in the missing sections to fill in. We found out quickly that we were not going to be happy with the shaping ability and quality of this foam so we tore it all out, bit the bullet, and bought the good stuff.

One suggestion:
If possible you should start w/ a fiberglass bumper that has the upper part n side parts
Like the one from Fiero Fiberglass, I think the guys name is JimmyS
That way you would already have all the mounting points perfect
Then you would just need to shape the frt part of the bumper
It wold be a lot easier that building everything from scratch

I agree the mounting points will be a headache. We have two fascias that we could sacrifice for the cause. Not sure how we're going to address it at this point.

last night i was thinking about how to get the perfect fit. then it hit me
why not take the pointy nose bumper cut the front out of it.
mount it the fill the inside with the foam. when hard carve out the desired shape. then glass over it to get the mold.
does this sound possible?
just a thought...

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like something we're discussing. All options are still on the table at this point.
