Bill,
There are some excellent resources right here in Dayton, Steve Miller runs MG Automotive in the suburb Kettering, races Spridgets, and specializes in all things LBC. He's done a number of complete resoturations and pretty much knows these cars inside and out. He rebuilt John Kuzman's engine and has been a tremendous help for me, particularly before I found this forum. Lots of Spridgets here in Dayton Area, I can count 2 within a mile of my house I've run across recently in various condition.
I live in the Beavercreek area and while not an expert of Bugeye's I've certainly managed to accumulate some knowledge in putting Bugsy my '68 Sprite back together and back on the road. More than willing to help out. Have him drop me a note.
