Beautiful build. BGN is often overlooked, but you have done a masterful job with this one. What exactly did you do to the nose to modify it?

Thanks! I cut the nose in three pieces(the center and both ends) pulled them out and added plastic,automotive glazing putty and sanded it to match the real car IIRC. There were resin noses that were made at that time to replace the kit nose but can't remember who made them back then.

That's some beautiful modeling right there. Captured the stance and all perfectly. Great job! Thanks for posting.

A great looking build.

Seeing the hood face decal, am reminded that Slixx made a Farmers Choice Monte. Another BGN car.

Your builds are all so clean and correct as far as stance and body are concerned. Did you go by another name at Randy Ayers by any chance. Always excellent builds from your bench.

Thanks Mark! I did go by another name on Randy's board at one time, but I can't remember what it was.
