    That's the way all cars should look.

    Love the touches to the throwback body with the nose, fenders and sail panel. 👍

          Well, if there is a place to run such a body - it would be that sheet metal eating race in the dome. I'm actually surprised someone hasn't done it until now. Only downside I can see is if some other car gets you by a nose at the line because their nose sticks out a little further forward.

          Nice look for the 58.

            If the transponders are in the same place, that shouldn't matter in today's times. I don't know if they have them on the axle tube there or on RF frame rail here?

              Is there a manufacturer still making that style nose?

                I believe they are supposed to go on those outlaw asphalt late models. This is the first I’ve seen on dirt

                        Yeah I forgot about transponders. Good point.

                        As far as noses, you can still find a wide variety of older style stuff from Five Star, Performance Bodies, and others. Heck, you can still find the old Howe style 1981 Camaro (two upper half, two lower half). Now wouldn't that be cool to see someone go really retro. Stuff that was popular on DLMs 20 years ago like the Taurus, Monte Carlo and Gran Prix is still available.

                        I think I'd rather see a retro body than a new wrap for this show. Not like the dome is an aero track.

                          Morgs, That's true that some of the older style stuff can be found but it gets harder every year. An example is the old Gen 1 fenders that I run with a Dominator nose on one of our stock stub Pro Stocks. Had a couple of them in back of the shop and a little shortening on the fronts made them a great fit on the Dominator nose. Planning on skinning one or both our cars over the winter and hate LM noses most in our class run so will have dig around or get creative with our stuff again.

                              the nose appears to be just as far ahead of the front tires as today's models.
