Hey everyone, I am a newish owner of a 60 Bugeye. I got it 5 months ago and bought it via internet and had it trucked down. As I suspected, it needs a lot! But the price was right. After five months on jack stands, I finally have it driving! It took a new dash and gauges, wiring harness, electronic ignition, all new brake parts, and it drives. It has a 1275 swap with the Weber conversion, header, new exhaust, mechanical advance distributor, and one seat :smile: I need a passenger seat if anyone can help me out :smile: This winter I plan on rebuilding the rib case it came with as an extra and getting rid of the shot smooth case, rebuilding the rear suspension, rebuilding the wind screen, and other minor things like finding a "H" knob for the heater control.
Anyhow, I'm sure I'll ask some stupid questions. Forgive me in advance for that :smile:

2nd. We "LOVE" pics so; Post some of your B/E (Personally I had a `59 that I sold this past Dec. & I like desc "Frogeye" much better than "Bugeye".

Enjoy Your Ride,
