Ron Hepding of Parkville, found himself in an interesting car situation.

After he built his daughter a 1970 Mustang, his wife asked him why they also didn’t have one. At first, Hepding thought she was only interested in a Ford. But she responded, “No, I want you to do a ’50s car.” Five months later, Hepding owned a 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air, two-door hardtop.
