Kitcat Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Wowsy-Dowsy, nicest bug-eye I have ever seen, and I remember them when they were new! What are dyno #'s (we know you have them:)). Edited November 12, 2015 by Kitcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is fantastic workmanship. Is this going to be a show car or will you drive it? Here's what you need to display it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is just indecently good looking. :drool: Sensational work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks very much guys, I'm in Easley SC. Just take it to shows and some cars and coffee, no track time for this car. Engine is 10.5 to 1 idles around 1100 RPMS. Cam is a scattered pattern SPVP3 billet with 286 duration which is about all you can run and drive on the street with this car. The 1380 should be around 115-120 hp. Car took first in class at EuroFest last month. A few more photos.

werthie Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hey guys . . . I have the same disease! I've been restoring and driving Bugeyes since the 60's. I have two at the moment, which is one too many . . . If anyone is interested, both are rotisserie-restored, have 1275's, 5 speeds, disc brakes, etc., and are virtually perfect.

MudHut Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 This level of detail and cleanliness is why people trailer cars to shows and events. I'm a firm believer in driving everything everywhere, but this would give me pause. Stunning detail. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
