What Tunebug should be when done

I ran across this today:

Looks like nice work from the pictures, and is very close to my vision for the Tunebug. I'll be curious to see how much it goes for in the end.

It is dissapointing that there are no completed pictures of the engine bay, that engine color is disgusting.

Engine color is just wrong, though of course I think that BMC Green is the only appropriate color for a Bugeye motor.

I've seen this car in person, as he mentions he took second place at Eurofest. It was a very nice looking car but the first thing that jumped out at me/you was the engine details.

Can't wait to see what it goes for either!

That looks like a well done car. The lack of original type detailing is probably why it took second insted of first.
How about a nice green colour for the engine? I have lots of it.

I think he had only 15 miles on his odometer when he had it at the show. I didn't think anyone would be close to my 8tenths HEHE.

The owner runs a british car shop if I remember correctly? Seemed to know his stuff.

Happy to see that a bugeye won "Best Sports Car"!!!!

Tunebug's motor will be clean and BMC green, that's for sure. I like the pictures, though, especially the rear 3/4 shot. A good reminder of how nice I think the lines on a Bugeye really are.

X4!! Even a non-"Healey green" of a different color would be nicer than Chevy Orange!!

I have received that "what kind of car is that...it has beutiful lines" comment at a few traffic lights!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
