Thanks for the tips.? I have Monday off so hopefully that will be my day to try something.?
I am attempting to get an?original?275 grill into the existing Italia nose.? It is about 8"?wider (4" per side)?and the nose countour isn't the same.?I'm not worried about?the body cuts for the width but it is the countour that I will probably put the most thought into. My hope for the contour is to leave the body as-is and modify the?grill.??? Instead of hacking into the actual italia nose and then determining ?it won't work I would rather hack into disposable foam. If it doesn't work I'll at least?have some great wall art.??

Lots of luck, and you know we'll all want photos when you're finished.

My plan is to cover the first 15" of the nose in plastic and papermache it to make a negative mold.? then fill the mold with expanding insulation foam?to create a foam duplicate of the nose.? I will then use this to cut into and determine the body adjustments?needed.? Any flaws in this plan?? Any particular type of spray foam to use?
