Share this page

Whadda ya mean "NO BLOOD AND GUTS"??? You can't tell me there wasn't ONE skinned knuckle or paper cut during this entire endevour?? And what about the guts it took to even envision a project like this in the first place?? PLENTY of blood and guts I tell ya!! :laugh:

Again, really nice work to all those who made this happen!!
 
See how easy and fast Bugeyes can be restored, hehe. Only takes 20 folks who have done it before.

And where other than here would you find twenty folks who have done one before :wink:
 
Ha, on the spridget list.
 
It only took 12 guys and 2 weekends :wink:
1 weekend to take it apart and fix the metal, another weekend to put it all back together.
It has it's custom tonneau cover now, Blue to match the interior with white edging and a cone shaped pocket over the steering wheel so water sheds off of it.
The local shop saw my tonneau and the puddle in the middle, he improved the design and used a plastic white plastic zipper to keep with the color scheme.
 
You mean everyone does not carry a blow up beach ball to place on the tunnel to hold the tonneau up so it sheads water nicely?
 
The Beach Ball trick is the best thing I learned in LotO! So simple and so effective. Absolutely brilliant... now if I could just find a tonneau cover!
 
Hay Bill, the Moss one is very nice. Or your friendly local guy can make one.
