image.jpgHi all, it's been a while since I posted anything. But, I have been lurking in the background at tips and pointers to get this project completed. (Or soon to be completed) After a job transfer that was a dead end I decided to go all in and focus on my 59 Bugeye. I finally drove it for the first time yesterday and it was such feeling of accomplishment. Here's a couple pics...I can't wait to show it off to my visiting family tomorrow.

Looks good. Bugsy IV coming along nicely. Just got a headlamp issue resolved, and an issue with a Tenex Fastener added to the mirror so tonneau cover has a place to attach to when driving 1/2 zipped. Some cogitating on Turnsignal of RH Side being non functional. Turn signal works on LH F&R, Rear only flashes quickly meaning bulb is not getting current. More Cogitating tomorrow to resolve.

I bet it looks better in the Sun! How do you attach them?
I think I would like to have them on my BE. I bet the neighbors are impressed.
Unfortunately no build thread... I went MIA for a year.
Here is a pic of the driving lights. Lucas reproductions.View attachment 46033

image.jpgHere's a pic out of the Garage. I mounted the driving lights directly to the body.
Moss carries two types of mounting options.
