[Spridgets] Beautiful '59 Bug Eye on eBay. . But 1275 Engine?

[Dean Hedin]

One thing that ebay bugeye has that I was just contemplating about for my own car.

"The car is fitted with a new high-quality Optima battery, which is covered with a period 
"tar-top" battery top and case, a very nice period-looking touch for the engine compartment."

Does anybody know where can I get such a cover?

In any case, I agree with Frank.  Too many of the little details are wrong on that car that could have
easily been done correctly.   I've seen quite a few bugeyes that don't have the front cockpit 
aluminum surround properly covered as was original, but I have never seen one where all the surrounds 
were covered.  Somebody had some skill, but just didn't do the research.  

That being said, I still think the final price was very reasonable.  Lottsa new chrome, spare roll bar, etc...
