You know the car is small when the seats are LARGE in comparison!

Wish there were some pictures of the engine bay.
Other than the seat looking out of place, a fine automobile!

I made a really big mistake today.
Steve Guterman is a new member of the list who lives about 5 miles from me.
I did not know him, but he is restoring a Bugeye that has been in storage
for many years, so I thought I would check it out. Big Mistake.
It looks nice in his pictures, of course
(http://picasaweb.google.com/bealeguter/Bugeye#), but lots of cars look nice
in pictures and can't meet the eyeball test. Right?
Right?
Wrong! Really bad mistake.
This car can meet the magnifying glass test. It is drop-dead gorgeous, with
all manner of custom touches like a cherry burl dash and custom welded
aluminum grill, etc. The engine bay is clean enough to serve dinner on, but
it has so many colorful touches that you might have trouble distinguishing
the hoses from the hors d'oeuvres.
I am destroyed. There is no way I could ever manage the skill to build such
a car. Now anything I do will pale by comparison.
I should have known. Very big, very bad mistake.
Michael Rowe, DPO
