Is there anyone out there who could check out a car for me in St. Louis? I checked Larry's page for checkout volunteers but not too much in Missouri. Subject car is a Bugeye. Thanks, Ron

Frank neglected to explain one of the coolest features of his car - he built a spare axle holder into his engine compartment. It is very cool. And he will not take it easy on that Sprite.

Yeah, I should have known better. The springs, it turns out, were new (checked my receipts). So, the only thing reused on the engine was the valves. Rocker assembly is new. The cam isn't all that rad
