IF it were the REAL DEAL, it would have been mentioned in a book, somewhere. The 2 or 3 prototypes with the new nose on the Bugeye body were mentioned. Why not this one? Answer, because it isn't real

There was a kit out for this purpose. WILCO up in Rochester, NY sold this kit along with such period stuff as Judsons and Abarths. The kit came complete with channels, stay weatherstriping, the works

I have a friend with a body shop. Give him a pic of that trunk and enough money and he can make it look "factory" for you. I agree with the opinion that they would not have invested in the tooling to
