Big Daddy's Bugeye

[HealeyRick]

I've been into Healeys since 1967 when I bought my first Bugeye from my cousin.  Always have had the urge to hot rod them, though.  In addition to the "Exploder" http://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?13,8264 ( still not sure about that name, may want to change it to"Fauxbra"), I have a fully restored Bugeye done up with all the mods that were available in the Special Tuning Manual    (woo hoo! 55 bhp!)  But I always dreamed of a big V8 in a Sprite, even though I know it would handle like a turd.  Like a lot of us at the time, I think I fell under the spell of Big Daddy Ed Roth, who was just too cool for school.  He probably made more money selling air-brushed t-shirts, Ratfink stuff and Maltese crosses to us pimply faced high schoolers than he ever made with his automotive creations.  Here's one of my favorites:

Awesome! I wonder how hard it would be to get one of this stickers....

(I can do without the 6-71 huffer though)
