    Just got one also,I guess have the hood in place and maybe the bumper to line up the side pieces,watch so you do not exceed what ever the rules are for nose length
    and clearance to ground.FYI my bumper will be under the nose.

      If your running IMCA, it's illegal to have the bumper under the nose.

          "Nose piece must remain within the confines of the bumper" Maybe I was interpreting what you said wrong. When you say under nose, do you mean below the nose? Or behind the nose like a late model bumper??

            MD3 rule

            i actualy talked with IMCA reps on this one , the bumper has to be on the outside of the md3 , the leading edge can go up to a 1/2 inch past the front of the bumper < you can mount the metal bumper from the sides or the front of the frame horns , i have a metric clipped car to make things complex , im going to be mounting my bumper to the front of the horns , i was hoping to find someone with the crazy idea i had , so i could fine tune the mounting and triming of it .

              The way I would do it in your instance Rob, would be cut slots in the nose for the bumper to mount and then extend the outsides of the bumper to wrap around the sides of the nose.

                          That nose won't last very long w the bumper behind...especially w that driver behind the wheel!

                            Might as well just widen the hood and make it a late model....
