Default 55 Fiberglass front end

I had a fellow racer make these up for me, they will be put together for a 1 piece front end. Here is the 1st initial mock up. Look to take some decent weight off the gasser, the metal i took off was roughly 200 lbs, , I don't run the full lower bumper.

Another local guy will be making the front bumper ends and grill.

More of the front end is available upon request. Roughly 1500 plus shipping from TN. Hood and fenders
