You can also see the wind wings in the whitewall photo that I got off of E-Bay from Philips Plastics, and the wind blocker from Moss. When I was a teen the saying was "If it don't go chrome it" I had a Green 1950 Olds Coupe. It had a big V8 engine that had really low compression and was hard to get it to turnover to get it started. I replaced the 6 volt battery with an 8 volt battery to get it to turn over. The only problem was that it would eventually burn out the head lights so I carried spare headlights in the trunk that I got from the junkyard. It had moon hubcaps, lowered in the front and a great paint job. It was slower than crap and never won a drag race, but the girls liked it.
So I am trying to make my Bugeye look a little different than a run of the mill one. Sorta like chroming it. You may have seen the Bugeye on the internet that had a thing that looked like a windup key that would spin when he drove it. Im looking for something like that to set me apart. None of this stuff makes the car run any better, but it is fun. My great mechanic Randy Zoller, in El Cajon CA keeps it running and I do the chroming. I was never into mechanical stuff but my late Brother BOB Mayer was a drag racer and a Funny Car racer who hung out with guys like Don Gartlits (Spelling). My brother was the first person to go over 200 miles per hour on land in Australia, in the 1960's and was very popular in Australia. So he got all the car genes in the family. I already told Jim Gruber about flunking out of riveting school at Rohr Aircraft, so I had to turn to accounting to make a living. Oh one more thing I have a good friend, The one that went to Yosemite with me back in the 1960's in my Bugeye that I had then is a retired Partner from a CPA Firm. He bought a 1955 Mercury for $1,500 25 years ago that he was going to restore. It has been sitting in his garage ever since while his Mercedes sits in the driveway. I tried to get him to get a Bugeye, but his wife says no way while the Mercury is in the garage. So even my best friend has no car genes either. I do envy the guys that do have the right genes for this stuff.
