 If you are having a hard time swallowing his parts prices, his restoration prices would probably choke you.Mike MacLean

 Good to know Bill, I am starting to appreciate David's (bugeyeguy.com) parts and his work. I would even consider having him do a build for me if I didn't have the time, room or energy myself. I wish he would increase his inventory but then again his prices are tough on the wallet although like you said good quality. I'm at a point ....whoops ....... age where I would rather pay once and cry once .......wink.

Hello Linda,


I got parts  from bugeyeguy for my recent refresh. I have yet to be disappointed. He gets his parts from other suppliers, but so far they are quality. The gauges are from SPEEDHUT, .. so you can get the same from there cheaper, BUT not with the faces that look so good. The cast iron water pump.. all you can get is aluminium from anywhere else. I did the conversion to Negative Ground and went with the GENERNATOR and fake regulator. The Genernator burned out it's diodes in less than 100 miles but bugyeyeguy made good and I got a replacement. 

I got the carpet set from AHSPARES. I chose the jaguar quality and it's really nice stuff but a pain to fit. The body panels were exact replacements. Can't say about the rest of their stuff.

I just took an IQ test. The results were negative.
