well after 2 days of working on the front end its in near final order.. I got to one point and had to remind myself this was for MPG not good looks and needed to spare the detail sanding and such till a later date so I can get this thing on the road... just need to get some thin flexible clear plastic from the glass place that will cover the head light holes.. and you can see the LED DOT approved blinker lights in the corners of the headlights, this area is not used by the light spread.. so instead of sinking them in the new nose I just put them there..

Here are the results..



It made noticeable improvements, even with out the headlight holes covered.. the throttle was no ware near where it was with out the nose and coasting down the hill near out place was a faster speed that previously.
after the headlight covers i need to make a bottom removable pan for it and figure out where tio let air in to cool the engine.. the nose did make my temp gauge rise a bit.. even with the headlight holes and the bottom open.. so it surly deflecting air around the car even as is..
