Morgan three wheeler nose cone / grill shell

I was working on building the nose cone / grill shell today. I had limited cutting and sanding supplies, but you know how it goes,"Adapt and Overcome". I hot glued the styro together, Roughed it out with a saws all. Shaped it with a wire wheel, and a side grinder....lol. Hopefully the I will be able to get some sanding supplies tomorrow to shape it up better.  I have decided to favor to new morgan three wheeler grill style. I make some mock ups of four different grills (BRA, Ace, Jag, and triking) before I decided.
