How much HP have people seen the stock rear axle of a 1959 bugeye, and front i guess, able to handle? I am looking to have about 150hp to the wheels.
I finally was able to take a look at the project at hand and below is the pics. On saturday we are going to see if the tires can hold pressure, hopefully for at least 4 hours anyway. The hood looks bad, but it isn't, just dirty. The body only has 21600 miles and is in decent condition. It has been in a garage for 15 years. I am not sure about the engine, but that is coming out anyway. The car was last registered in 1990 and probably not started in 10 years

Check out the aftermarket picket fence hardtop

With a little spit shine this oak dash should clean up real nice
