sounds like not a lot of choice on the alloy nose going by the replies and I know you wouldn't want to disappoint us all.... would you
 I'm sure it will be a tough nut to crack but boy will it look the mutts wotsits when done

Made a bit more progress over the last couple of weeks.
  Done a bit more work on my bulkhead need to get some dome head bolts to finish it off. Also finished the support for the front edge of the bonnet/ nosecone.  Also made a press for louvers so started work on a under tray for the engine bay. Needs a lot of finishing but not to bad for a first atempt.

Its not as fancy as some presses I've seen, its only made of mild steel so I have to cut a slot first don't thick it's up to cuttting the metal as well. I just tap it with a hammer to press the shape seems to work ok. I made it from 12mm plate cut on the band saw at work and welded the bits together. Took a lot of trial and error to get the fit right for the socket I kept crushing the sheet.

Totally agree with the previous post, you have now set the bench mark for body work and a fibreglass nose just won't make the grade. Joking aside your body work is stunning but I know that an ally nose cone would be an absolute nightmare to fabricate.
keep up the stunning work arfon
