Hi all,

Does anyone know anything about making a bugeye hartop by cutting the top off a 
Nash Metro???
Last night I helped a friend pick up a Bugeye 'project' car that he just 
bought. It came with a lot 
of miscellaneous spare parts, and also included a complete rolling Nash 
Metropolitan (no-engine). 
They guy he bought it from , said he had the metro, because he was going to cut 
off the top and use 
it on the sprite. Apparently it uses the same windshield glass as the early 
sprite, and after 
looking at the top, it does indeed look almost identical to a bugeye hardtop. I 
guess the trick 
would be figuring out how to handle the rear glass.
In any case, has anyone done this or seen it done???
