Hey, Gang, back again after a lengthy hiatus. Well, the Bugster is upright
again after having its belly thoroughly cleaned and a new coat of paint
applied. I never knew what the underside of a "new" Bugeye looked like
before. Anyway, I think it misses its nightly tummy rub, but is getting used
to having its back rubbed. I had planned to have the little beast ready for
the spring meets, but father in law has been in bad health, and haven't had
time to devote to the car.
Am trying to get a quote to have the topside painted instead of doing it
myself, as time has become a precious commodity here of late. Anyone had a
complete paint job done lately??? What about cost??? As the Bugster is just
a chassis (not rolling) I am having to wait on the paint guy to drop by and
give me a bid.
Anyway, had a rather strange thought the other night. Does anyone know if you
can get Mini Lites in a larger diameter to fit the Bugster??? Say, a 14 or
15" with the same bolt pattern??? Any thoughts on this, or am I thinking
sacreligious thoughts again???
Good to see you're all still here....
