Wanted: basket case bug eye

[BlownMGB-V8]

Can have significant damage to front and rear. Does not need to run. Prefer acceptable interior, minimal rust. Proximity to Cincinnati a plus.

Why a Bugeye?  Aren't the Midgets the same size?

I would think a Midget would be easier/quicker to find & much more economical for your project (to fit in your bus?).

The Bugeye is an inch or two narrower actually. It's still a bit wide and I am going to try to do some more measuring today. But at least it is a possibility. I expect there are more of them around than Crosley Hotshots, the other candidate. Numerous changes would be required which is why the basket case. I think it is a little lighter than the Midget. I like the looks of the Bugeye better as well.
