    Yes, the Bloody Mary is looking good and running strong. Keith and John have done a great job bringing this local legend back to life.

    Feb. 25, 2017. We took the Bloody Mary out for a approx. 100 mile round trip shakedown run today. It ran good, lots of power, steering and brakes excellent, no rattles, no weird noises coming from drivetrain. Rides really nice.
    Even the heater worked good! It was a fun trip. Mary 1.JPG Mary 2.JPG Mary 3.JPG Mary 4.JPG Mary 5.JPG

    Because the top is chopped on the Mary it made it kind of hard to see traffic lights so Keith installed this traffic light viewer. He let me drive the car today works good! traffic light diffuser.JPG

    My buddy tried one in his chopped 34 sedan and said it didn't help him much. Probably due to the
    4 1/2" chop and flat windshield. Joe
