Howdy from chilly, snowy New Mexico! At least it is today. Tomorrow most of the snow will be gone and in a few days the temp will be back to 40 degrees, maybe higher. We can only hope.

I bought a '60 Bugeye at an estate sale for not much money about two months ago. Running and drivable, but the paint looks like a dried up river bed. I'm in the process of stripping the paint and correcting and cleaning and rebuilding a few things that need to be done. New windshield is being put on (I broke the last one intending to change the bottom seal at the cowl :highly_amused:smile:. Reupholstering the seats after the new year and putting one patch panel on the drivers side floor soon. No rust on this car (!!!) excepting that one patch panel.

Looking forward to getting the car in prime and on the street again in the spring :encouragement:.

Welcome. May you enjoy your project and may your shop remain as clean as it appears to be now!
 
Looks like a fun project Mickey! Don't know how much snow you got in your area but at our house we have more than 18 inches! Had to go out twice with the snow blower!

Welcome to the BCF!
