0918141734.jpg The last piece of the puzzle was the nose and grille opening. I purchased the chrome trim surround for a V12 E-type and hung it in space near where it is set originally. Measuring the space around the trim suggested how to build and attach the male hammerform. The nose is removable and indexed by 2 blocks which stay attached to the main buck. The purchased trim was traced onto cardboard which was transfered to rough shaped laminated 2x6s. The opening cut first using a large hole saw on the end and then final shaped using a variety disc sanders. Then blended to the ribs using inline sander and profile gages to verify flow.
