[Spridgets] Kent's Bugeye restoration

[Linda Grunthaner]

Kent,
I understand completely, this summer I painted the garage, still working on
the doors and windows and hired a company to paint the house. I'm almost
done. Then I can rebuild my deep pink Sprite's carburetors now that I have
the new kit from Joe Curto, highly recommended by Tom Colby of Speedwell
Engineering. Then flush my new brake system I bought from Gerard
https://www.gerardsgarage.com, who is one of the best rebuilders. I've had
air in the system for 2 years and now I'll try the bicycle pump trick
thanks to Alan Fisher who sent me a couple of master cylinder caps
and sells outstanding original Spridget parts! Thanks for paying it forward
Alan. I'll need to remember to pick up that bicycle tube valve so I can
install it on my cap and hopefully get that last bit of air out before
winter sets in. Once school started in September every project was pushed
back.

We all should read old posts from our dear friend Frank Clarici to get
motivated, and of course always pay it forward.
Power On Spridgeteers,
Linda
