At the present time I am restoring the nose on my own 69, bonny, it wasn't in very bad shape to begin with, just some shrinkage of the origional material,, I redid it , by extending the top edge that meets the hood, to eliminate the rubber gasket, and leaves a nice even reveal to the hood, that matches the hood to fender gaps,, looks much better than the ugly gasket, I still have a bit of work to do on the mold, bracing , and smoothing,, I am making the mold a 2 piece, so I will be able to fill in the back of the fiberglass facing with a solid rubber or plastic compound,, much like the origional,, a true replacement part, except with a glass facing,, I don't think I will be finished soon enough to have one ready before your car is painted ,, unless your painter is probably a month away from paint,, But if you guys think you might be interested in looking at it I will pick up the pace a bit,,
The reason I decided to do this is because I bought one of those flimsy fiberglass POS , at the cost of 230$ , and would have to completely redo the thing,, so the guy I got it from took it back,, Think there might be a market for some good replacement nose pieces,, also the rear bumper insert, havn't done anything with that yet,, Maybe I better get busy huh???? Don't know if you can tell anything about the nose in this picture,

Thanks Bill
