It can be done! I know of a guy with a RB Midget with one RWA and one
original square arch, if you didn't walk around the car you would never
know.
I also know a guy who put a Bugeye rear clip and bonnet on a RB Midget,
removed the 1500 and fit a 1275. A true Bugeye with roll up windows and
a fold down top.
Anything is possible. The above work was all done by home hobbyists in a
their own back yards or garage.
(The RWA replacment 1/4 panel was a mistake when ordered to replace a
crumpled 1/4 panel due to acident damage. And the owner never knew the
difference untill some one pointed it out.)
