Would you take a wonderful North American product and ruin it by giving it a nose like this?

WHY? To put a turboprop in it. Probably a Walter...or an Allison 250.

Don't worry...people don't modify aircraft for just style...there is a reason for it. Remember, the FAA has to sign off on it.

It's not like some guy grafting a new nose on a 51 Studebaker.

At the risk of stirring a wasps nest:

"Would you take a wonderful North American product and ruin it by giving it a nose like this? "

My thoughts when I see P-51 Mustangs chopped and modified for air racing . . .
