'68-69 GTO Nose - The Project has Begun! (Page 35/60)

There are still variables to work out and they will have costs associated with them. The grills alone can have a number of different features. There is also the matter of how to address the different beltline mouldings. Then we will have to see how many pieces the master mold will have to be divided into, etc.

I was considering the F355 nose until I saw this. I'd buy yours for the same price and quality.

Just FYI, the body putty isn't very durable either. Even after it dries, you can gouge it with your fingernail. So you should still be very careful around it. It will also absorb water. So keeping it dry is important.

That says a lot! Thank you for your interest and support! The level of quality we are shooting for will set the bar. Can we accomplish that? Only time will tell but just be assured that it is a HUGE consideration for us.

Thanks for the tip!

The season change is working for us in this respect. It has been a very wet spring and hopefully we'll see some dryer weather soon. Also this is a transition step so hopefully we will be able to get to the fiberglass step soon and eliminate all moisture concerns.

Gel coat won't absorb moisture, but Bondo putty will.
