The eBugeye "Sunshine" its looking good! Robert Juarez sent this photo of the finished rear bodywork and it's better than new.
Next step is fabricating the rear battery box, then rewiring everything. Here are some of the steps along the way:

The time has come to let the Porsche and the MG move on to new owners. I'm out of garage space (truthfully have been for some time now) and since my back injury have been unable to enjoy the garage time that I used to.

This is a high quality fiberglass replica of an early 1950's MG TD built on a 1974 VW Beetle chassis. Every moving part has been replaced as well as the floorboards. The paint and interior are stunning! It's literally a brand new vehicle.
Please contact me at fred.behning@gmail.com or text (512) 689-3595 if you are interested in either or both. I'll be happy to provide additional photos or other information.

Facebook post from my friend Robert Juarez:
Under the leadership of Jack's daughter Jackie along with Brian Noto and the rest of the EVTV staff, the conference was staged once again at the EVTV Motor Verks World Headquarters in Cape Girardeau, MO.
My friend Stan Cloyd offered to stop on his way from Mesa AZ and load my e-Bugeye in his enclosed trailer. He trailered his Tesla Model 3 and offloaded it to make room for the little yellow car. We caravanned the rest of the way, Tesla Model 3 and Chevy pickup/trailer. Made the trip in two days with a stop over in Texarkana.
Looking kinda goofy. Not good at selfies. |

Long post warning! (but worth the read)
The eBugeye ran when it came off the transport, but much needed to be done. Barry, the gentleman who took over for me in 2012, did some really marvelous things. The rear battery box is a work of art that no one will ever see. It's a sturdy plywood container with a plexiglass top, painted black so it will disappear. It's strapped down to the spare tire loops and quite solid. The battery cells are connected with the braided straps from EVTV.
Trust me, there are plexiglass sheets protecting the connectors. |
