I haven't reported anything about the barn bugeye in ages because there has
been nothing to report. Progress has been made, though, so I hereby
announce:
It's almost painted!
Actually, everything but the bonnet is painted and can be seen at

If you don't like leaf green, don't look. You won't like it. I love it,
though! It's hard to believe this is the same ugly orange-ish car that was
rescued from a junk yard as it was about to be crushed. Considering it spent
about 15 years in a barn after the junk yard rescue, it had almost no rust.
Let's see...the engine is ready to drop in, I have a wiring harness, I have
several transmissions and need a rebuild kit, I need to take the dash apart
and get all new gauges...OK. It'll be another couple of years, but it's
slowly getting there!
