    Default Help me ID this nose mold?

    I acquired this as part of a lot of molds from the widow of the mold maker.

    Help me ID it please.

    I think it is formula ford, but what model escapes me.

    Pay attention to the inside mold form, as that cross piece on outside is added for mold rigidity.

    Thanks for the help!

    My first guess is 1978 Wheeler Super Vee.
    Edit: when looking at the first photo, second photo less convinced.

    (looked it up, definitely not a Wheeler, so glad I kept that to myself). ;-)

    It’d help a *lot* to see more photo angles.

    I could be dead wrong, but do not think it’s a FF nose, or at least that I know of. If it’s much narrower than it looks, there were some Formula Vees that kinda look like this, it might be good to measure width for more input.

    Right photo almost looks like the custom nose used by the Lola T324 of a guy named Scott Ovel, in 1976 and ‘77. I think he was from Iowa, but not 100% sure. Scott *may* have had a nose made by Herm Johnson instead, as did Herm and several others who bought them, but I lean towards the one-off, custom nose theory.


    But after all that, it may turn out to be a Malibu Grand Prix nose (kidding, it’s not).
