I think the front was glass as you see pics of the spoiler molded to the front. The RS nose was cast into front end also and appears smaller than the real nose. Those things are really heavy. There is a picture of Strickler,at Indy '70 cutting the front spoiler off the car with a hacksaw because Grump told him "Remove that Damn field plow and the car will go a tenth quicker." The picture is in Larry Davis' new book "Quarter Mile Muscle" which is really excellent. One question I always had about Grump's '69 is: Were the louvers on the quarters filled? If you look at pics of the car the Lakewood decal is placed over where the louvers should be with no outline of louvers showing.
