Default Blue Dragonsnake

Right you are Hal.

The blue Dragonsnake picture posted by Tony is currently owned by Drew Serb. He did the restoration over a period of several years. The vandals left the car in pretty rough shape (but I wouldn't call it destroyed) and Drew had to replace/rebuild some of the frame and superstructure. Drew did a very careful restoration, only replacing bits and pieces when the original truly couldn't be salvaged. I've known other "restorers" who would replace entire frames, etc. simply because it's faster and cheaper.

I have had the privilege of watching the car take shape these last few years and I must say that, all in all, the true history of the car remains. Drew did a wonderful job and a piece of history has returned to be shown in public.
