As some of you know I will be restoring a Bugeye for a local retired Priest.
Father Jack already has a 69 Midget which is for sale to finance his Bugeye project.
I already have a $100 bugeye and it is exactly what a $100 Bugeye should look like.
No sills, no floors, no interior, no drivetrain,, no bonnet, but it does have some major dents.
Glen Byrns recently acquired a semi rust free California Bugeye shell with 2 little spots of rust and only 1 small dent.
It has floors, sills, and a bonnet!
I can buy Glen's tub for the cost of all the panels the tub I have needs. This will save a few weeks of cutting patching and welding.
I already have a 1098/ribcase that runs and will drop in. Interiors are a piece of cake. And I recently stripped out a 63 Sprite and am working on the front end and rear suspension bits.
SO HERE IS THE PLEA
Do you think we can shuttle Glen's bugeye tub across the country?
Somebody trailers it to the next guy who trailers it to the next guy who gets it a little closer to NJ.
Remember, this is for a Priest, he can take away any of your sins and unlock those Pearly Gates if you think you may need a little nudge due to your past acts.
I would like to start the project in September and have it ready for him around Christmas.
This leaves 6 weeks to get the Bugeye across the country.
What do you guys think? Possible?
A little about Father Jack.....
He's in his 70s, retired about a year ago. He still goes to housebound and ill people to give Communion, he does weddings for children of the parents of his parish, he's a nice guy, AND He disparately wants a Bugeye.
He has no money, He does have a nice Midget that he is selling to finance the Bugeye.
So IF we can get the CA tub to NJ, that will save a lot of time and effort in replacing most of the panels on the tub I have.
There has to be a real commitment to shuttling this car from point A to point B and beyond.
Shipping it across country is .80 a mile or $2400 give or take and that will be more than 1/2 of what Father Jack has to spend.
So plan on a short road trip with a trailer, meet other BCF members along the way. Heck, maybe a long trip, I think getting it over the Rockies is the hardest part.
