Re: My very last restoration!!!
All my Shaker parts have arrived,
I guess I’ll have a few mods to do regarding the Flapper trigger, this is configured for a QJ carb
I’ve gone for a Holley DP ,

Re: My very last restoration!!!
A few months ago a brought a GRP front nose cone
Basically belt and braces approach,
My original Endrua had been given me all sorts of problems
So one came up and I grabbed it,
I’ve fully strengthened the structure,
Hugely stiffened it and add considerable weight,
However it’s still feather light compared to the original!
Once fully prepared it will be impossible to tell them apart
And it won’t crack !

Re: My very last restoration!!!
They look fantastic! Top quality kit worth every penny when it's all in place. What mods will you have to do for the carb??

Love the nose too, I think that is one of the best muscle car front ends ever, along with the Challenger and 69 Boss Mustangs. I remember being totally wowedby it when I saw one as a young lad in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Simple, sleek and really cool

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Obviously the bracket and trigger is designed to work with a QJ carb, the Holley is longer and slimmer
I can see it being to much of a drama
I’m hoping I won’t need my Glass nose as the original one came out very well and looks like new
BUT will it move or surface crack ???
The 56 year old Urethane is notoriously unstable
Due to degradation, I’ve followed all the advice
Used the best epoxy etc but still doubtful about its durability??
Hence the back up one !
I’ve actually got everything to make a Great Wall hanger,
I’ve kept my hood, I’ve a spare front lower panel,
Both front quarters and the nose,
It all could be glassed up to make a faux BullNose front
The hood is rusty but it’s got the rare round hole
Only 70 and very early 71’s had these
There’s loads of things that are unique to a 70’ car
GM was forced to change for 71 on
