Went to pick up the 1950 from the upholstery shop today. Had to wait 6 days for the Mother Nature to make up her mind. Anyway, the car turned out very nice. John the stitch master did a great job. He was happy to do a restoration for a change rather than a custom street rod interior. Andy, THANKS for recommending John for the job. Also, for getting Jim to trailer my car back home. I could not have done this without you. Attached are several photos of the finished product and of the ride home. The car is now 97.5 % complete.

For all of you out-of-towners, the white stuff next to the mailbox is what we call snow. But, that's not all we call it.

Kaygee, the last time they were on was about 2 years ago at the body shop. They are painted and the seals are attached. Currently, they are hibernating in a box in the parts department (aka garage attic). As soon as the weather gets a little warmer, they will be going on along with a few other goodies. That's the 2.5% that still has to be completed. Stay tuned.

YNZ harnesses are not perfect I had several problems when I rewired my 54 convert I E mailed them and they called me one evening and we discussed the issues which I do not remember now.I hope they made the corrections.

Well, it's been a long five years since I started this restoration. I felt I was in reverse more than I was in drive. Anyway, at this point in time, I AM DONE! I took my 1950 Bel Air to the 63rd Annual Father's Day Car Show at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron Ohio today. It was a hot, sunny day with a few passing dark clouds, but no rain fell. Perfect weather for the hard weather stripping to soften up. Next thing on my to do list is to clean up my play area in the garage, inventory all the extra parts and try to find homes for what I do not need. Attached are several photos of the finished product.

Haweye, simple words are not enough for all your hard work but the least I can say is job very well done. I can see your smile from S.C.

I've been watching the VCCA Facebook page all weekend with envy. How did the '50 do at the Central Meet? Looks great in the photos!

The '50 won a 1st. Place Junior. If you look real close, you can see it smiling.

I went to the Ahijoy site and you lost me. What specific item or product are you referring that I use?
