You've got to teach us all how you do all that work. It looks great!
I was wanting to do a new nose to my SS, but don't have the skills or knowledge of what to do.

Well last year when I started thinking on this dash.....what can I use and decent diameter and guess what it is a 3/4" rubber garden hose incased in fiberglas to get the
radius and shape needed...
So you have to just have fun with your thought and play with it...
When I did the body I was over my head and sure took on more than I wish I did.... But 2 yrs later finally have decent body..
You can always find issues after the build that need to be addressed and I have a few...LOL
So the body started with foam but change after change ..
But I am not a fiberglas expert but one who just challenges myself to having something different...
But I really think this will be my last build at 72 yrs young..
The fiberglass itch and all the dust gets into your pores and eyes ...So no more big jobs after this one..

Joe I do hope that you can bring it to Maggie Valley this year.

I will try to get it there.... But I find most SS owners have little interest in it..
I see them look but most say they like the stock SS over both of my Designs I have made..
When I would go to SS Show's the people who put lights and stereo's had the bigger draw ..
Even at the Maggie Valley show I will probably not be able to be there long with all the
Sound systems...I have tinnitus really bad and can not damage my hearing any more...
Couple weeks ago I was in my Jeep and saw 3 Slingshots come up well they had sound
systems and I had to roll the windows up they were that loud..
I am coming down to show but I have a cousin lives there and will be there to visit him..
So hope to meet you and others..
My favorite show was 2016 Maggie valley show when it was just starting and approx 250 Slinghshots
and vendors were just learning and to me was more personal than the other shows I attended
I have also been to Deadwood show 3 times and that is one nice show with all the rides out West..
