Who makes a full underbody tray for the bugeye? Or do you plan on designing and constructing one yourself?

Much needed bump on project One-Eye Bugeye.

Here she is sanded and ready for polishing.



After Half polished realized that it needed just a bit more sanding.




Here she is after polishing and after a bath.

While in the reinstallation phase, we found that the muffler was an angled tip instead of a straight tip, dooooh!! It was pointing straight at the side of the bumper. Oh well here is the huge extension needed to clear the body kit. Don't worry we cleaned and painted it too.




Some daytime Pics.





And here she is with our style points installed.



Next up are hood pins and mounting the side skirts. Stayed tuned for next week.
