I've known Johnny Torres for a few years  now, so when he invited me down to the Open House at his Johnny Torres Upholstery at 915 S. Main in Hutchinson, KS of course I was going to make the trip. I've watched his car go from primered and just on the road to finished kustom, it's been a fun ride. He has been doing kustom upholstery work for a while now both here and occasionally out in CA when he goes out to visit his Beatnik brethren. I've captioned the photos so they should tell the story.

Roy has a beautiful 49 Ford that you see above, and has a Bonneville car and they're working on a dragster and his dad was KKOA member #6. Roy invited me over to see the shop and bit of his dad's automobilia collection.
