I have 2 of the Walthers GP15-1's in the CSX Dark Future paint job, and i want to take one of them and turn it into a HH for a freelance rr.
So I'm assuming it has an 81" nose. Need to know so I can know which nose from Cannon and Co. to get.
Also, what DB housing should I use to make it a GP15T.

Cannon only makes one high hood nose. I have my Project X which is a Smokey Valley GP-15 that I'm doing the same thing on. I used an ATLAS GP-38 dynamic section on it. People say the dynamic section ain't right, but the whole thing ain't right anyway. It's a "what if". I swapped air boxes on these two.  |

Thanks Randy, I'm glad you provided a pic that shows exactly what it will look like, man that thing looks good, it already looks beastly, lol. And I don't mind that you used a GP38 DB housing, it doesn't look out of place size wise.
I thought about mounting a Nathan K5LA horn on the nose bell mount instead of having a bell there.
