Background on the Car: My 1950 Ford woodie started its life in South Carolina then went to South Dakota and finally to Ohio. It came complete with basic restoration, complete with shag carpet, license plates screwed to the floor covered with road tar. The project was a complete frame-off. In the process I made many great friends and contacts who helped me complete the project.
