It's a labor of love and Mick certainly shows what can be done if you put your mind to it. What a classic automobile he has given a new life, and a convertible to boot! Congratulations Mick Santa!

Mick Santa's '49 Caddy, being a fat-fendered, post WWII automobile, might be too new to call it this; but I will. It's one great-looking "resto rod," as an auctioneer might refer to it.
One man's vision looks pretty good here.
