Although that Hughes would have been a great find, what I encountered was ultra light experimental with no real body.
There was a promising looking aluminum boat, but I've already been looking at a fiberglass kayak, an aluminum canoe and a 14' aluminum fishing boat for possible boat tail material.
Good news, I was able to score a retired 55 mph interstate sign from which I will construct a skidplate to replace the missing front undertray on the beetle.
I was considering a prefabricated piece from ebay, man am I glad I didn't spend $179+ shipping.
