[Spridgets] AH Spares Bugeye Grill

[Michael MacLean]

 The Bugeye grill on the car now is the re-chromed original.  When I had
the car repainted for the 2008 Lake of the Ozarks 50th the body shop was
heavy handed and the top most pin was pulled so hard to install the speed
nut it cracked the metal of the grill around it.  Not super evident until
you get close.  Up close you can see the crack at the peak of the grill.
     I bought a replacement grill from AH Spares and it arrived today.
First of all, it is a bad pressing that lacks the detail at the top edge.
On the original there is a definite border edge.  The repro has no such
detail.  Maybe not important to some people, but it bugs me.  Second, the
grill came bent at the bottom.  See picture below.  Both ends bent like
this.  The chrome is cracked at the bend also. Glad I didn't spring for the
high quality show chrome version.
