I’m Calling the Mercury Done

Post by AndyClary » Fri Jan 02, 2026 11:11 pm

After more time than I care to admit I’m calling the Mercury done. Got the upholstery finished and that should be it beyond maintenance and the occasional tweak.

Yes Chris, it is a Chaffin Rajo. You seldom see a Mercury with an outside exhaust, but it is a speedster and should be loud.

There is only one thing wrong with the car, it's not in my garage.
I'm beyond out of room right now anyway.
