Thanks for the props Dave.
Could be because of all the smoke it emits while idling around too. Clears out
the Mosquitos <VBG>
It REALLY doesn't like to do that, it gets loaded up and takes a while to
clear it's throat afterwards.
I have to thank Frank again for the HUGE assist in finishing it. Couldn't have
done it without ya!
You also did an awesome job on the interior and Walt on the seats.
Still some bugs to get worked out, but getting there.
Took it to a high end tunig shop that my nephew works at yesterday.
Young mechanics had never heard of one and really thought it was cool.
Even amongst the Porsche Turbos and Ferraris that they had in the shop.
He's trying to talk me into turboing it, LOL. Kids......

I can confirm Brian's assessment of his Bugeye's crowd-drawing abilities. I
was standing with friends at their X1/9 (they alternate bringing this and
their '69 Elan) when Brian drove by. Every head on that side of the parking
lot followed his progress. By the time he got it backed into a space, there
were already quite a few people gawking / commenting / asking questions, with
others on the way. At one point, Brian and I took a walk to check out the
other cars. When we returned, you could not see his car which was sitting
between two larger cars, but you knew where it was because of the crowd
standing around it.
Part of the draw is obviously the fact that Bugeyes have never been common,
and are downright rare now. BUT... at least part of the draw of this
particular car is the edginess it has when compared to most other LBC's. The
big roll bar, real magnesium wheels, fat sticky tires poking out from under
each fender, rowdy exhaust note and cam timing all practically scream
"race-car!" as it rumbles by. When he opens the forward-tilting bonnet, the
header and polished intake trumpets do little to alter the initial impression
that this thing would be a blast to drive or ride in.
Get used to it Brian - You are a celebrity by association as long as you drive
that little beast in public.
