Nose Cone Buck

The bodywork has been very slow going with three of the four versions hitting the bin!! And that's just the nose cone.....
I can't start on the rest until that's sorted.
Anyway, I think I have it this time...
This is still only the unfinished buck that the fibreglass will be lifted off. Then that will get cut and shut to suit. Still a lot of work and it's not that much fun unfortunately.
The glass mudguard is just a light template I lifted out of the mould so it can be cut to shape to incorporate the mountings on the inside. The mould will make both left and right guards with the mounting valance which bolts to the calliper mount on the inside of each....that's the plan anyway.
 1/2" rhs with .55 zincalume attached via the tangs to avoid heat distortion if it was welded. The fill pieces are 1.2mm zinc TIG welded on the sides to hold the masking tape and Gyprock in place, it sands like chalk and is cheap
