My wife and I spent time on vacation this past week at our cottage and I had time to recover some significant treasures that will be used on Bugsy II from my Parts Car which is now ready to go to a new home to help put at least 2 more BE's back on the road in addition to Bugsy II. Items recovered include:
1) a better bonnet that is easier to restore that the early '58 bonnet that came with Bugsy II - The red bonnet seen in the background needs fender beading and some work and is restorable. I believe I have a buyer already.
2) an unmolested dash - Bugsy II's dash I discovered had been recovered and 4 holes welded up. - Dash was uncut but easier to install an unmolested dash. Bugsy II Dash and instruments goes with Parts car
3) Steering Wheel that is uncracked and needs a little filler and paint. I will go to a wood rim wheel later but this one gets car on the road. - Orginal Bugsy II Wheel in pretty good shape will go back on parts car
4) Seats with good seat pans and frames - Seats in Bugsy II had on bad seat pan - Those seats will be sold with parts car
5) Washer Pump that works - yeah
It was a good week treasure hunting.
