Rob,
Sounds like an interesting idea, I may try that, since it would be easy enough
to do, however I don't know if it would be necessary. My freshly restored
bugeye, is painted a 'kelly green' (I was Actually shooting for dark green) and
sticks out like a sore thumb everywhere I go. We don't see many sprites on the
streets around here. I see another bugeye on the road maybe once every 3 or 4
months (not including car shows). So any one who decided to steal my car, would
be pretty conspicuous no matter where they went.
If someone really wanted to steal it, I think they'd have to put it in the back
of a truck, and cover it.
