The seats have been reupholstered and bodywork done almost ready for paint.
As I was wisely told about old guns, we do not own them. We are just temporary custodians. Someone who appreciates post-war Chev cars will thank you for your respectfulness towards the previous owner who invested his time and energy, and to the car itself for not ignoring it as a wall flower. From lessons with your old trucks you know how to properly protect it from the elements until the next caregiver sets eyes on it.
