Lugage rack for a Bugeye

seems a while back someone had a Bugeye lugggage rack they wanted to get rid of, considering one for my wifes Bugeye during rebuild. Anybody have one they want to dispose of through a sale?

Also I want to bling it out as much as possible. My wife likes the jewerly. If she had been born a fish she wouldn't have lasted a day.

I have the Amco (?) rear bumper surround and 14" chrome wire wheels. Also thinking of the front bumper with badge guard and of course the luggage rack. then top it off with the windsheild wings and polished cockpit surround.

Have I left anything out?
 
Chrome spokers?
 
Wood steering wheel with a chrome suicide knob? :devilgrin:
 
I have a brand new NOS ARAMCO rack available. In this pic it is just setting on Miss Agatha to see how it would be. It has been in my house for the past several years, not a mark on it.
Sorry, need $175 plus shipping.

Puttin' holes in Agatha's boot would be just wrong IMO, Jack. Better to sell it.

Sounds like a sealed deal. I assume no rust pits etc..Not looking for showcar, just nice weekend driver condition.
 
John-David there are no marks at all on the rack. It is like new, heck it is new. Never been mounted and always stored dry. It is ready for the show circut.

Don't forget to polish the windshield frame. Also there is plenty of bling available for her engine compartment.
She'll probably like a nice leather wrapped steering wheel.
I know Speedwell sells a neat aluminum gear knob with the
"Flying S" logo.
The knob is on my Christmas wish list along with some "bling" suspension parts like the tubular sway bar and panhard bar.

you have a set of those also ?

Anyone have a badge bar?

I like the steering wheel and shifter knob. Maybe I will have the shifter housing show chromed
 
Yea, I got a set of wind wings too, but those I am keeping thanks, lol

Have seen thems for sale some place not long ago.
 
I think so, I have never seen but one kind.
 
Spridget wind wings are rare as hens teeth nowdays so I made my own wind wings out of lexan and mounting brackets for an MGA. They are slightly smaller and more rounded than the original AMCo (A bit like a cross between A and Spridget wings), but I was never fond of the larger, more square spridget ones.

Just went out to check on Miss Agatha. Hers are not so curvey but are the same for practical purposes.

Work really well.
 
Yes Jack, they make a significan difference in the wind coming around the windscreen
 
Those custom wind wings are da bomb! I like the curves.
My Amco units are "allegedly" for a bugeye. Seems they would
fit just about any LBC to me.
They do cut the wind significantly.
