[Spridgets] Semi Charitable Bugeye Restoration

[brian S]

Frank,

You can count me in for the JACK-SHIT.
 I have a bugeye that may be a better starting point than your auction Bugeye.
Tub is solid, floors good. Rear deck is tweeked,
could really use a whole rear clip. Needs a bonnet and seats, otherwise
pretty
complete. Probably negotiate an appropriate price with the good Father. :-)
Been keepin it around so I have a clue where stuff goes when
I start puttin my other one back together.
