In June 2013 we submitted the entry form for to take the 1951 chopped Ford 4 door to the Grand National Roadster Show at the Fairplex in Pomona (LA) California and received acceptance in November. I sent the car to Hot Rods by Dean in Phoenix to have the stainless trim around the windows and glass channels re-done as the welds could be seen from the chop then spent 4 weeks cleaning & polishing the top, bottom & engine and made props for the display, the theme was "need for speed".  We loaded up the car into the trailer behind the truck & camper and headed to LA Wednesday morning.  Arrived after noon at the KOA across from the Fairplex, unloaded the scooter and I rode around to see the lay out of where we would go to unload the car.  Thursday at 9 AM we got in line at the staging area and waited  for over an hour to be let into the building area where the car was to go into Building #7.  We were rushed to get the car carpet...
