This great car is sold and heading to a new home in Durham, NC. But before this trick 1500-engined Bugeye leaves our shop, I wanted to share my favorite feature, the flip-forward nose with internal latch. Leather hold-down straps work great, and we have used them on many flip-forward cars. But this car has a particularly elegant solution to holding down the nose that is completely hidden from view. Check out the video below to see how this builder addressed the latch for this particular flip-forward nose.
We sell these hinges to make your nose flip forward and also the leather straps (in black and tan). We also sell the latch kit as shown in the video and will post it in our catalog shortly or you can email david@bugeyeguy.com to reserve yours today!
