[Spridgets] Fiberglass Bug Eye Bonnet on Seattle Craigslist

[Rick Bastedo]

Ha!

I think most of the group ascribes to the philosophy that
"it's your car, do what makes you happy".

I'm pulled both directions with this one, I want to make it original(ish)
but at the same time it would be great fun to have a "bugeye".
I'm afraid that painting it and getting the chrome & lights on it would
seriously impact my budget (again).
