    A friend of mine just took in the Leo Lyons Merc as a project in his shop. He'll be doing a nearly full resto to bring it back exactly how it was in its golden days.

    I got a chance to see it in person and snap a few pics, so here they are. I apologize for the bad angles, but the shop is real cramped so these are the best I could get.

    Within the next year or so, he will also be working in the old Mooneyes cutom hauler that was partially built from a '59 El Camino. I don't know how he'll fit in in his shop, but I'll be damn sure to take some pics when the time comes.

  2. Leo hangs out at The Mug, in Rialto. I'm curious, if he knows about this. I met him a couple years ago. Time to go see about that. I'm sure he'll be stoked. If he isn't already, in the know

    Awesome! Tell him to check out "J.R's Speed Shop" (Venice, FL) on Facebook. My friend would be pretty stoked to talk a bit about it with him
     
  5. I'm pretty sure he isn't on the net, but I'll pass along the info.

    Geoff Hacker also now owns the Merc and is restoring it. Geoff has contacted Leo about the car, and is keeping him informed about the build.
