April 2009 Healey Marque Article on The Bloody Beast
Not too long after the completion of the restoration of The Bloody Beast, Reid Trummel, editor of the Healey Marque magazine contacted me about preparing an article for an upcoming edition. I put some narrative and photos together, expecting to get one or two pages in the magazine, but Reid surprised me with quite an spread! Thanks, Reid.
This link will direct you to a pdf file of the article:
I loved reading about your HEALEY; I live in Louisville Ky. and have a 66 BJ8…I am extremely interested in the top radiator shroud you had made from 2mm aluminum plate. I have 2 questions; does it work as well as it looks and is there a template still available. If somebody is making these I am interested in purchase or finding a template that would duplicate what you have have installed on your car!!
Thank you for your time.
All the best,

Hello John,
Glad you enjoyed the article. That was quite a while ago! I don’t really know if it helped with cooling or not, because I made so many changes at once. Hard to say what had an effect and what did not. I did have a template around here someplace. I will have a look this weekend.
