Arent GTS nose cones the same as a standard one? Or are you talking about a full front with guards and bonnet.

arent gts the single headlight and premier the twin lights?
as much as i would love to make up whole front ends, its an expensive procedure to set up and if i cant find any buyers for the nose cones then there will be no point making any other moulds.

Yeah Id be thinking the money would be with WB nosecones - probably across the whole range.
If you really want to stick with HQ then premier and/or statesman would be the money spinner imho.

yes i belive they would sell well, is it legal to have a fibreglass front on a road car?
as for different models (gts, prem, stateman ect) you should only need 1 mould for the lot, the differences are only in the head lights, all youd need to do is have a insert in the headlight area, and change it for single headlight or twin, with the statesman the differnce between that and premier has a bar in the centre to seperate the grills, this could be added to the mould as a insert too

thanks for the feedback guys, i cant see why it would be illegal since the rad support guards and inner guards would still be steel.
as for making the guards aswell, thats when the legalities may come into it unless the car is going to be used as an off street drag machine.
one last thing... do you know if holden has a copyright on the designs? it may be more trouble than its worth unless we keep it on the down low :)

maybe worth a email to rare spares to ask that question, they repoduce 1000s of holden parts, id recon all you need to do is pay a licence fee or something like that, not sure though
