Looks great Amy. I think leaf green was a good choice. As Kermit the
Frog said, "It ain't easy being green" (or something like that). It's
always great to see a Spridget (or any classic car) brought back to
life.

Subject: Barn bugeye progress
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!
Amy
