No offense but Standup 303 posted if anyone had tried to remove the beak nose. He's got his canvas and I respect it. I respect every's car that they like/love. I never stated that it was "an improvement" but in my opinion, it is. I had a 73 Dart Sport back in the day and I tolerated the beak nose but vowed never to own another one. I bought this as a budget scrap heat :-) and fully intended on removing it. I got $100 tied up in the beak removal. Can you do that?
