Central Oregon 78

Thats the plan. After getting the front off though, I wasn't pleased with the urethane cover. Not sure if I want to reuse it or look at maybe a fiberglass one or the flex fiberglass. If I sand it and paint it ,because it has so much flex what do you use for primer that wont crack?

The nose from my 78 is in the basement without any structural support inside it. So its pretty flimsy. But the paint I put on there over 15yrs ago has not cracked or flaked. I also had a 1/2" thick piece of SPI epoxy that dried in the bottom of the mixing cup. a year later it was still flexible, I put in my vise and bent it in half with Channel Locks.
The stuff on the 78 was just what ever the local supplier sold me back in the day.

Looks really great! Be sure to wipe the bores with an oily rag! That freshly machined metal will flash rust surprisingly fast!
