69 Executive - poor nose :(

I tried to make my Executive’s endura nose surface last as long as possible, but it’s gotten to the point of hopelessness. See attached photo.

I’d be interested in seeing that combo on the 67 Bonnie, as I’m still looking for a good replacement wheel/tire combo for my 69 Executive coupe. ��

Absolutely beautiful! If I could snap my fingers and do one thing to my '69 Executive, it would be to turn it into a convertible. And fix the nose. ;)

Striking out on machine shops in my area. I called 4 and only one said it MAYBE was something he could do. But he’d have to see it first. He quoted me $60-90 per wheel, and that was for bolt drilling...
