i used late 50's jaguar "cream" (white) as the color for my bugeye. not
that it is correct for a bugeye undergoing restoration but it was a period
color i chose as my car was painted white the first week it was owned by
it's new owner before it went racing. that is why i chose a period color.
it was purchased as a green car and considered "bad luck" to race a green
car back then. one of those old race car superstitions.
chuck.
