T70 Spyder replica build

[Johan]

With a radiator exhaust like this

[Johan]

This is a 2 piece nose that is similar (but wrecked). Note that the part that dips down is trimmed.

[Johan]

So there is a removable panel

[Johan]

That fits like this. You can remove the panel to check brake/clutch fluid and tilt the nose up instead of removing the whole nose.

[Johan]

This is an original nose that is 2 piece as well.

[Johan]

Or this one with headlights. It is similar but has enough differences that it may be hard for you to use.
It is curved at the back instead of straight across in front of the windshield.

[Johan]

Notice the curve.

[Johan]

Or the even more severly curved

[Johan]

MK III nose

[Johan]

Of which I have several extra... and they could perhaps be trimmed "straight" across the bottom.

[Johan]

and do the 2 piece part like this perhaps.

[Joe T]

Love the nose on the Dark Blue Number 30 car, looks very nice with the point in the centre and the sweep at the sides from the headlights.

Great Pictures.

[Johan]

Thanks Joe, and to think it might have been a Marauder !

Johan, fantastic pictures!! I didn't see them straightaway yesterday - my Firefox loads up 18 pages, including this one, so while it might appear I'm here, I'm not home!

I see what you mean on the two piece modification there. I think I'll stick to a single panel and that picture of the clip at a 3/4 shot, on the floor with Bardahl on the side, shows me exactly what I wanted to know about the "return" of that side material. The 61 nose looks to be identical to what I'm working with as you mentioned and has a pleasing shape, but naturally so do the others.

III nose has something that I'm not so keen on, might be the light area, not sure. I'll grow on me. Interesting ducts there around the filler reliefs on the orange car, what are those?

That car has a heater and AC. That is the fresh air intake.
