Howdy Jack -



Could that Bugeye belong to Vaughn?  If so, you will be glad to know

that I saw it two nights ago.  And a generation has passed since Vaughn

had it on the road in my neighborhood.  Now his son David has taken it

over and is well into a total upgrade.  New cooling system, front

suspension and tires and a rebored (I think) engine almost ready to get

stuffed back under the bonnet.  Wow, is it trick.
