brakes and made it run 3 summers ago and have been driving it since. Probably
shouldn't admit this but I'm into classic Chevies too and currently have a
'55
street cruiser that's taking all my fun car money. I keep the Bugeye licensed
and insured for periodic drives and plan to keep it for a retirement project.
I'm filing away some of the technical threads for future reference and enjoy
reading the list.

Nothing wrong with a '55 Chevy and a Bugeye. There is so much difference in
the driving characteristics of the two cars. Road holding weight vs. turn-on-
a-dime handling.
I'm for ANYBODY who can keep ANY old car on the road. I love going to auto
shows and seeing the lengths some people will go to in the name of
originality. I just wish I had that kind of time and money.
It's nice to have those two cars so you don't get bored with either.
