What a whirlwind of a season. I feel like my body is just now being able to relax a little since Christmas 2020 is in the books and our Atlanta Market Show was a success this month.

He was a perfectionist always wanting things to be just so. I watched him work on the same spot for a week at a time trying to make sure the body of the car was as smooth as possible.
