List,

Two years ago at the Conclave in Arvada, CO my stock bugeye was parked next
to the strangest thing I've ever seen.  The owner called it a british hot
rod.

The base was a bugeye.  All four corners were widened dramatically, a tube
chassis was inserted, a triumph IRS installed in back and coil over set-up
in front.  Can't remember the engine but he barked tires in all gears.  The
body was all formed steel - supposedly with 0 bondo.  It even had a small
custom made boot lid. It was all black of course.

I'm not much for modifieds but I must admit this thing was impressive from
an engineering and craftsmanship perspective.  Mark Hanes may remember more
about it if he was there.

Herb
