I don't even want to go 100mph in a Stock Bugeye with a 1275..... ain't that
Brave.... 80 in Miss Kathy's one time... taught me all I want to know about
Caster and Toe in...

Let alone a big block.... Brad and I been beating up the idea of using this
bugeye for a Buck to make a Fiberglass body..... and then using this car as
the base for a small block street car....  I am just not sure I want one....
80" wheel base and to much Hp.... it would be UGLY....
