Best in Show - 2 years in a row, 1951 Ford Woody Wagon
After a very long search, the remains of a 1951 Ford Woody was located in Tulsa , Oklahoma, The trashed body was located in a field that at times was flooded due to the crest of the local river. The Woody had rotten wood and rusted out floor pans and the interior was destroyed down to rusted out seat springs. I hauled the Woody back to Tavares where my shop "The Radical Rod Shop" was located. I began the rebuilding process. After 900 hours of delegation and rebuilding, I presented this rusting , rotting car to its owners as a transformed, gorgeous, show quality and functional classic automobile.
